Description
Many pregnancies are not planned. Women may not know they are pregnant for a few weeks or months. During this time, the fetus grows rapidly and can be affected by a number of factors. For this reason, it is important for anyone who is planning to have a baby to be as healthy as possible. This booklet is for adults who want to have children someday, but not right now. It helps individuals understand how to protect their ability to have children, think about when to have children and how to have the healthiest baby possible when they are ready. Topics include writing a reproductive life plan, physical health, sexual health, mental health, family health history, and next steps. Also included are websites and organizations to support next steps.
Also available in French, and in fillable PDF in English and French.
