Why is Family Planning Important?

Family planning gives you the power to:

• Plan Your Future: It helps you decide when you’re ready to be a parent. It’s your life, and you should choose your path.

• Health and Wellness: It’s about your health and the health of your future little ones. Planning can give you time to prepare physically and emotionally.

• Financial Freedom: Being prepared means you can save money, set goals, and provide for your family.

• Gender Equality: Family planning empowers all genders to share the responsibility of parenting and make choices together.

How Can You Plan Your Family?

There are several friendly options:

• Contraceptives: You’ve got a range of birth control methods, from pills to condoms, and more. Your healthcare provider can help you choose what’s best for you.

• Fertility Awareness: You can track your menstrual cycle to identify fertile days, which is an option for couples who want to conceive or avoid pregnancy.

• IUDs: Intrauterine devices are small, T-shaped devices placed in your uterus by a healthcare provider for long-term birth control.

• Permanent Methods: If you’re sure you don’t want more kids, there are permanent methods like tubal ligation or vasectomy.
