family planning

At some point in our lives, we are all faced with the question of
whether or not to have children. This question is a multi-facetted
question because there are a number of factors to consider when making
the huge decision of whether to have kids or not.

Some experts theorize that mother/daughter relationships play an important
part in the desire to have children; others theorize testosterone levels
in the womb and body play a part in maternal instinct.

The majority of participants in a recent study in Nepal claimed two
children was the ideal number (73%), but more than half of the women
continue to have children beyond the second child.

Times have changed. Couples are now living together for years,
sometimes even decades, before choosing when to work on growing a family
with or without a marriage commitment. Other couples follow the more
traditional route.

It is not so unusual to have babies a year and a half or two years
apart. What really stuns me are the women who are pregnant when their
babies are only a month or two old.

Some women put a lot of thought into when they’ll have their baby. They might try to line up the dates so that their baby is a certain astrological sign, or they might even try for a specific birth date that is meaningful to them.

When a marriage fails, the couple can move on and raise children together, in some cases, without struggle. But, what happens when a second marriage is started and the new wife wants to have children of her own? 

Having a family is part luck and part planning; for some couples, it’s
the planning part that is the most difficult. You know you want to have
more than one child, but you have no idea how close together or far
apart you should plan your children.

A will is a powerful final testament tool which provides instruction regarding a person’s last wishes, including how they want their estate divided and distributed.

Any person that is married and/or has children should obtain life
insurance. It is an investment that will have a positive effect on the
lives of those left behind upon one’s death.

Have you ever wondered what month accounts for the highest number of
pregnancies? The answer is different for adults and teens. According to
current research, teens are more apt to conceive in the month of March;
the same month as spring break trips and activities.

Having a baby is a wonderful experience for most couples. When the surprise, elation and fear have died down a bit, the time comes to think about the impact of having a baby on life and future.

Information about fertility awareness helps to fulfil the broader definition of the services many family planning clinics offer.

Fertility awareness and charting is part of 'Natural Family Planning' (NFP). It uses a woman's natural fertility signs to identify when she may or may not be fertile.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A method of natural family planning that closely monitors two indicators of fertility is just as effective as oral contraception in preventing unwanted pregnancies if used correctly, European researchers report.
