Considering the population explosion, increasing inflation and scarcity
of resources, the family trends have shifted to nuclear families with
number of children limited to one or two. Family planning refers to the
natural and artificial birth control methods that allow you to control
the size of your family and the gap between your children. Family
planning tools help you prevent conception and reduce the risk of
pregnancy. The biggest advantage of these family planning tools is that
they save you the hassles of abortion. Adopting the family plan directly
effects a woman's health in a good way by preventing the unwanted and
unplanned pregnancies and the following abortions. Restricting the
family size allows more resources for bringing up and sustaining a
family nicely. You can let you children have more focused upbringing and
better education and other amenities.
Family planning tools are broadly categorized into two : natural methods
& the artificial methods. Natural family planning is based on
avoiding sexual intercourse during the fertile period of women. This
method is based on physical signs of ovulation like as basal body
temperature and certain changes in mucus consistency. Artificial methods
of contraception include, hormonal methods like the birth control pills
and Norplant implant, barrier methods like condoms, cervical caps and
diaphragms, and the third type is the sterilization or the permanent
contraception. Another popular hormonal birth control method is the IUD
