Knowledge and Awareness of Family Planning Among Mothers in Urban Community

Abstract

Family planning, also known as contraception or birth control, is a way to control unwanted pregnancies. Many methods of family planning are available, so each couple should be able to find one that is right for them. All sexually active adults must consider family planning issues. According to the World Health Organization, family planning is not just about preventing pregnancy, but also about timing conception so that every baby is wanted and planned. The birth control method you choose must take into consideration personal preferences, habits and health concerns. Despite the long history of family planning in India, the rapid population growth still remains the knotty and viscous problem today.
