Family planning involves using birth control methods to decide how many children you have and when you have them. It allows couples to have their desired number of children, and control the spacing and timing of their births.Knowing that maternal health is health of women during pregnancy, childbirth and after delivery while motherhood is often a fulfilling experience, for too many women it is associated with suffering, ill-health and even death. A woman’s ability to space and limit her pregnancies has a direct impact on her health and well-being, as well as on the outcome of each pregnancy as discussed by the lecturer from FPOP or the Family Planning Organization of the Philippines-Iloilo Chapter during the family planning day for NHTS mothers(22 Barangays) at Mina Sports and Cultural Centre last April 16, 2016. People have used birth control methods, and today can avail many safe and effective birth control methods that will be provided by the said organization after the short screening and interview. Contraception helps prevent unwanted pregnancies, space out births and protect against STDs, including HIV/AIDS.There are different contraceptive methods, each with unique advantages and disadvantages.Hon. Rey Grabato our Municipal mayor said that women and some couples who desired children were not able to have them. Other couples have desired fewer children or pregnancies that were spaced farther apart, but had trouble accomplishing this goal. Fortunately, there are many more family planning options in modern times. Family planning is important for the health of a mother and her children, as well as the family’s economic situation. Truth nowadays, having children more than five years or less than two years apart can cause both a mother and her children serious health problems. The financial problem of having children involves the medical costs of pregnancy and birth and the high costs associated with actually bringing up children. Since parents are responsible for providing education, shelter, clothing and food for their children, family planning has an important long-term impact on the financial situation of any family. That is why many mothers are so thankful for the FP Day in Mina conducted by FPOP-Iloilo Chapter.
