What are the benefits of family planning?
Family planning lets you control your decisions concerning having a family. It also increases your chances of conceiving when you’re ready and decreases your chances of having an unintentional pregnancy when you’re not.
The ability to control your fertility provides emotional, mental, and physical benefits for you and your family members. You and your partner can avoid the stresses of either having a baby when you’re not ready or not being able to conceive when you are.
If and when you do decide to have children, family planning improves your chances of having a healthy pregnancy and baby. By offering care from the preconception to post-delivery stages, Dr. Soini helps improve the outcomes for you and your baby.
If you decide not to have children, family planning reduces the emotional and financial stress an unplanned pregnancy could potentially cause. Family planning can also prevent STDs in addition to pregnancy.
Whether you want to start a family or prevent pregnancy, contact Dr. Soini online or over the phone to learn more about the appropriate preparations.
