WHY YOU NEED FAMILY PLANNING

7 tips you need to know about family planning

(1) Population Control - Family planning slows population growth. This is important because overpopulation puts pressure on the environment, the economy and services such as education and health.

(2) Adopting family planning methods offers various socio-economic advantages, such as time to complete an education and pursue a career to be able to support yourself and your family financially. A survey conducted by Guttmacher Research Institute in 2011 found that 63 percent of the over 2,000 female respondents believed that birth control had allowed them to take better care of their families; 56 percent of the respondents also reported that family planning had enabled them to plan their finances. Family planning also allows mothers and fathers to only have the number of children their income can accommodate; they are able to provide them with basic needs such as food, education and shelter without straining financially.

 (3) The World Health Organization explains that the main advantage of family planning is that women and couples can avoid unwanted pregnancies, while the National Health Service warns that traditional family planning does not prevent against HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases. WHO advocates that with family planning, a woman can space out her pregnancies and limit her family size using different methods of contraceptives

 (4) Pregnancy interval - Family planning makes it easier for couples to create desired intervals between pregnancies. For example, a couple might want to wait to have their second child until their first child starts kindergarten or until they can afford to relocate to a bigger house. It also ensures that a woman's body has sufficient time to recover before another pregnancy.

 (5) Birth control and health benefits - forms of family planning that involve birth control provide health benefits to women. For example, birth control pills, vaginal hormonal rings and hormone patches make menstrual cycles more regular and decrease menstrual cramps. They also decrease the likelihood that a woman will get ovarian and uterine cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts and anemia, according to The Center for Young Women's Health. Also, the use of male and female condoms lowers the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases.

 (6) Pregnancy risk reduction - For women and couples who don't want to have a baby, family planning reduces the risk of pregnancy. For example, when used correctly, birth control pills are over 99 percent effective and condoms are 98 percent effective at avoiding pregnancy, according to Planned Parenthood. Family planning decreases the number of pregnancies for teens and for people who can't afford to care for a baby, according to the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources.

 (7) Family planning can also help you and your partner enjoy sex more, because you are not afraid of unwanted pregnancy. And some methods have other health benefits. For example, condoms can help protect against the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. Hormonal methods can help with irregular bleeding and pain during a woman’s monthly bleeding.
