Family planning kaise kare?

Family planning ka matlab hai apni family ko plan karna, yaani kitne bacche chahiye, kab chahiye aur unke beech kitna antar (spacing) hona chahiye, iska decision lena.

Dono ki kya expectations hain, kitne bacche chahiye, aur kab chahiye, in sab par discuss karna bahut zaroori hai. Isse aap dono ek common decision par pahunch sakte hain.

2. Apni Health aur Lifestyle Samjhein (Understand your Health and Lifestyle): Koi bhi family planning method choose karne se pehle, apni health condition aur lifestyle ko consider karein. Kya aapko koi medical condition hai? Aap kitni baar intercourse karte hain? Kya aapko daily pill lene mein problem hogi? Yeh sab factors aapko sahi method choose karne mein help karenge.
