Birth Control & Family Planning

Couple with their doctor

Every woman, and person who may become pregnant, should have the support of a trusted healthcare provider to create a Reproductive Life Plan about when she/they wants to become pregnant and have (or not have) children. Every person should have the support of their doctor for preconception (before you get pregnant) care. Healthy Babies start with Healthy Mamas.
