INTRODUCTION
1. Family planning is used by couples who wish to limit their number of children, and to control the timing of pregnancy. This is important to ensure the health of the mother and the child.
2. Women who are in poor health cannot provide adequate care for their children and for themselves. The economic benefits of family planning are just as important and attractive.
3. For many couples, child-rearing is a drain on financial resources. By spacing and/or limiting their children, parents and their children will be able to enjoy a better standard of living.
4. Family planning methods involve the use of contraceptive (birth control) which are essentially methods of preventing pregnancy by reducing the likelihood of fertilisation or implantation. These methods are described in Table 4.5
