Family Planning/ Contraception

Lifeline Medical Associates physicians can help you make informed decisions about when and if you want children. Understanding your options and planning for the family you want are important aspects of maintaining your health and well-being throughout all stages of your life.

Find A Provider

Why do you need family planning healthcare services?

About half of the pregnancies in the US each year are unintended. When you are better prepared for your pregnancy mentally and physically, you and your baby can get the quality preconception and prenatal care you both need to keep everyone safe and healthy.

Pregnancy spacing is another important aspect of family planning that a physician can help you plan. It’s recommended that pregnancies are spaced at least 18 months apart. Depending on your situation, you may need to, or want to, space your pregnancies even further apart.

If you have decided you do not want to have children, a professional healthcare provider will guide you through your options for birth control. Your physician will get to know you to develop a personalized plan that works for you, keeping in mind your medical situation as well as other factors in your life.
