The joy of welcoming a new member to your family has no bounds. But are you prepared for it? Do you really want to add a new member to your family? Will this put your economic stability into duress? These are some of the most important questions that you will need to answer. An unintended pregnancy can result in emotional, physical and financial stress on a woman or the couple. On the contrary, some couples are unable to conceive or have to deal with the psychological burden of miscarriages. This is where we can help you with family planning in Newark, NJ. While there are many definitions for family planning, in simple words it is a practice that allows women or couples plan their families, where they can decide when to start a family, how many children to have and also the age difference between kids. We also help a couple who are unable to conceive with a number of medically proven measures that help them experience the joyous experience of parenthood. At Saint James Health, we provide you with a broad range of services for both males and females that include everything from educational and counseling programs to clinical tests and procedures.

Why Family Planning Is Important?

We can count on many benefits of family planning but the most important among them are health and well-being of the mother and the child and the overall impact it makes to the economic condition of the family. In the past, the rates of maternal death and infant mortality were alarmingly high and most of this was due to lack of awareness and absence of family planning measures. Throughout history, the human race was dependent on luck and prayers for family planning. Thankfully, since the latter half of the 20th-century, advancement in the field of medical science and awareness among women and couples have helped in family planning.

Family planning also allows couples who have been facing infertility issues conceive and start their families. While couples often find it difficult to deal with the disappointment of not being able to bear a child, the fact is that the majority of infertility problems can easily be treated and doesn’t even require them to undergo complicated procedures. Infertility treatment is as much about undergoing medication and surgical procedure as it about how far the couple is going to be in terms of trying to improve their odds of convincing and giving birth to a healthy baby. Professional counseling by a medical expert is important as it allows the couple to take an informed decision based on medical grounds.

Symptoms of Pregnancy

Despite increased awareness among women and couples, we come across cases of unintentional pregnancy quite often. Such a situation puts the woman and her partner through much trouble such as making a decision of whether to go ahead with the pregnancy or abort it. Each day complicates the decision further as late termination of pregnancy can put the woman’s life to serious risk and also create complications with respect to conceiving in the future. What our experience tells us is that ignorance about the symptoms is more prevalent among young women who are often ignorant about the early symptoms of pregnancy. Though these symptoms are common, there are numerous cases where a woman would feel nothing unusual during the early stage of pregnancy. Although extremely rare, a woman can get pregnant even without deep penetration or ejaculation. If you had unprotected sex (or when the contraceptive measures don’t work as intended) with your partner and notice any of these symptoms, you need to get it touch with a medical practitioner immediately.
