Contraception: Good or Bad?


Not only does family planning allows people to attain their desired number of children if any, and also help to determine the spacing of their pregnancies. It helps women to recover from the loss of blood and nutrients during childbirth. Apart from that, some women delivered babies through the Cesarean section or 'C-Section.'

These types of women need to take advantage of contraception to heal their wounds and body before another rigour of pregnancy, labour and birth. Lots of women have lost their lives because their bodies could not bear the stress of another pregnancy so soon.

Unfortunately, some men do not see the need for contraception and if the women are ignorant, this could result in having a lot of children that could sometimes lead to hardship, sickness or death.

Contraception is achieved through the use of contraceptive methods and the treatment of infertility. Contraceptive information and services are fundamental to the health and human rights of all individuals. 

The prevention of unintended pregnancies helps to lower maternal ill-health and the number of pregnancy-related deaths. Delaying pregnancies in young girls who are at increased risk of health problems from early childbearing.

Although contraception among young and unmarried girls is frowned at in Africa it does not stop the fact that these wayward girls are doing what they are not supposed to do. They are getting pregnant, indulging in abortion that has resulted in damage of wombs or untimely death.

Also, preventing pregnancies among older women who may face increased risks, are important health benefit of family planning.

By reducing rates of unintended pregnancies, contraception will reduce unsafe abortion and reduces HIV transmissions from mothers to newborns.

This can also improve the education of girls and create opportunities for women to participate more fully in society, including paid employment. In 2017, it was estimated that 214 million women of reproductive age in developing regions have an unmet need for contraception.

Reasons for this include:

*Fear or experience of side-effects

*Cultural or religious opposition

*Limited access to contraception 

*Limited choice of methods

*Poor quality of available services

*Gender-based barriers.

I think contraception information should be accessible to all. This will prevent Ignorance and lots of untimely death among girls and women. It will also boost the quality of life among women

2 Reasons You Need To Be Selfish To Protect Yourself From Toxic People

  Living   W ithout Barrier Is A Decision! Daily we go about doing things for other people, lending money, visiting friends who do not care, working out our ass to pay our bills and also helping some relatives, friends and even some church members who may be lazing about capitalizing on our goodness and kindness. They judge you for being mean and wicked if you refuse to do their bidding which is not pleasant for you. They refuse to acknowledge the fact that you have your own needs. No matter how much you give, they want more. They indirectly shift their responsibilities to you and still judge you.

The Monster Called Depression

Image
  Depression is a mental condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity. It's the leading cause of disability in the United States and it has an effect on what we do and how we feel. If you or someone you love is feeling sad or hopeless most of the day, every day for at least two weeks, they may be suffering from depression.  Depression can feel like a dark and lonely place with no way out. It's hard to go on when you don't see your situation improving. You may even start thinking about suicide. We understand that it's hard to know what to say about depression. Bringing up mental health is not something many people get right 100% of the time (unless they're trained therapists). But there are some things you can do to make sure this conversation goes as smoothly as possible: 1) Be there for them 2) Give them space; don't force them to talk if they don't want to 3) Let them. Why is depression so common? It's hard to know what to ...
