Family Planning and Parenthood

The next class session on family planning and parenthood should be a good lesson for those of us who are wanting to start a family someday. It talked about the importance of family planning and what factors you need to take in when planning it. It talked about timing being important and the effect on a family. For instance when teenage girls or girls who are older are sexually active but they do not want a child, they will be careful in the choices and ways to prevent that from happening. It also stated that people often want to finish their education or get settled in their careers before they decide to start planning and having a family. Now for me that will be what my planning for a family will be centered around for the most part. I want to finish my schooling and then get settled in my career and get off to a good start and then have a steady relationship, get married and all that and then start planning for a family. It also talked about oral contraceptives and how many women take it to avoid pregnancy when they are not quite ready to start a family. There are so many different choices for women these days for contraceptives to take and it is amazing that sometimes they can fail and you can still end up pregnant. It seems to be a win/lose situation now a days with everything. When I finally decide to start having a family I only hope that me and my future spouse are prepared and in a situation that we are ready in all areas needed for the well being of the child.
