The Importance of Contraception Counseling

At Advanced Women’s Healthcare, serving Bloomington, IL, and the nearby region, we have OB-GYNs who stress the importance of contraceptive counseling. Finding the right solution for you ensures your family plans correctly and that you are using a solution that is convenient for you. Here’s what you should know about its importance.

Have a Child When Financially Ready

While children are a joy to watch grow and help them along the way, they’re a huge financial obligation. You’re responsible for their clothing, shelter, food, and various other essentials for at least the next 18 years. That’s why finding a contraceptive to hold off on having a baby until you’re financially ready is vital. When you do, you’ll be able to provide a child with the life they deserve.

Have a Child When Mentally and Emotionally Ready

Besides the financial obligations of parenthood, you’re also responsible for their care day in and day out. That can take quite a toll. And you may realize that mentally, you aren’t ready for that as of yet, which is fine. You need to family plan on a schedule that’s right for you mentally and emotionally, and an OB-GYN in Bloomington, IL, can help you find a solution to accomplish this.

Have a Child Around Your Future Goals

Whether you’re going to school, establishing your career, or dealing with other responsibilities, now might not be the right time for a kid. Your goal might be to get married and purchase a home before you bring a baby into the world. You can plan to have a child at a time that’s right for you with family planning now.

Find a Solution That’s Right for You

Though condoms and the birth control pill were once the only options you had to prevent pregnancy, today there are several options. One might be much better suited for you than another. We can help you find the right one for you based on your schedule, health, medical history, and future plans.

For instance, if you don’t want to have to remember to take a birth control pill each day, you can opt for an intrauterine device (IUD) that lasts for several years before needing to be replaced. Getting a routine shot every three months could be another solution. We also offer a ring or a patch. A baby changes your entire world. At Advanced Women’s Healthcare, serving Bloomington, IL, and the general vicinity, we have Dr. Ogunleye, Dr. Emm, Dr. Baja, and Dr. Kowalski, each an OB-GYN, who can help you plan for the right time to have one.
