Understanding Birth Control and Family Planning
Family planning and contraception help people decide if and when they want to have children. This video explains birth control options, how to choose what’s right for you, where to get support, and answers common questions about pregnancy and STIs.
How to Plan Your Family with Effective Birth Control Methods
Family planning involves making informed choices about if and when to have children, using contraception to prevent pregnancy or space births. There are many contraception options available, such as hormonal methods, barrier methods, IUDs, and natural family planning, each with different benefits and considerations based on health, lifestyle, and personal preferences. It’s important to remember that pregnancy can still occur while breastfeeding, so effective contraception is essential if you wish to avoid pregnancy. Support and access to contraception are available through healthcare providers and community resources, where you can get guidance tailored to your needs.
