Why do you need family planning healthcare services?

We know that planning is so important for your continued health and well-being. About half of the pregnancies in the US are unintended. Family planning means that you will be better prepared and ready for your baby when the time comes for you to welcome a new member into your family.

After you’ve had a baby, you’ll also need information about contraception options that will keep you safe and healthy. Ideally, your pregnancies should be spaced at least 18 months apart. Your body needs time to heal. You may actually need to space pregnancies further apart, depending on your family and medical situation.
