Summary:Aim: to describe the use of contraceptive methods and the factors related to the planning of last pregnancy among mothers. Method: quantitative study, with 100 women admitted to a university hospital from the countryside of of Minas Gerais. Data were collected through structured instrument, from July to August 2012.

Most mothers (59%) used a contraceptive method before their last pregnancy, with a prevalence of combined monthly injectables (67.9%). No significant differences were observed between pregnancy planning and other variables.
