Jessica P asked:
I’m 20 years old, married (have been since February), and there’s a very good chance that I’m pregnant with our first child. My family does not care for my husband very much, although they are nice to him (we live in an apartment in the upstairs of their house). The did not want us to get married, and I know they will be very upset/disappointed/shocked when they find out that I am. How should I tell them? My husband is a British citizen and can’t work in the US legally yet, so he can’t “support” me and the baby, but I have a large trust fund that can. Any advice?
I’ll find out in 4 days if I am for sure or not, and I plan on waiting until after I’ve had a doctor say everything is okay before I do tell.
Also, it’s my grandparents that I’d be telling and that we live with. I don’t mind telling my dad and my mom’s dead, so they’re no problem.

Hello, As a Catholic, I am looking into Natural Family Planning for someday when I’m married. However, I’m not sure that I trust it to prevent pregnancy since I have read conflicting reports on this method of birth control. Has anyone actually had success with postponing pregnancy for at least 3 years using this method? Has anyone had this method fail even though you were doing everything right?

Any answers with personal experience with this method will be most appreciated. Thank you.

its a b0y! asked:
i have been with my boyfriend for 4 years
me and his family have had problems on and off
the problem is, ive seen how his family treats little kids
example: when his mom is baby sitting her “goddaughter”, his brother and sister (13 &15) call her names such as Bit**, as**ole, brat ect. they push her around, spin her on chairs and then push her off so she walkes into walls, basically they are very rude and treat her very bad. this little girl is only 1 and a half by the way.
even though his brother and sister are only 13 and 15, i know they know right from wrong.
(this is just one example)
but while all this is going on, his mom dosnt say anything,
it really bothers me.
so i really need advise on what i should do because i do not trust them alone with my baby. they are just so irresponsible, and careless and they are very rude to me too.
what should i do?
any advise i will greatly appreciate.
thank you so much ladies

Paul Banas asked:
If you are about to start a family with your spouse, you will often hear about “family planning”. But what really does it mean? Family planning is often understood as prevention of pregnancy. However, it is more than just that.
What Family Planning Really Means
Family planning refers to:
• Deciding how many children you will have
• Planning when to have a child and the time interval between children
• Selecting suitable birth control methods to prevent pregnancy
What Family Planning Does NOT Mean
Due to lack of information on family planning, many couples may make decisions that can haunt them for life. Here is what you should know about family planning:
Family Planning is NOT a one-man show
Family planning is a joint decision between the husband and wife. It is important to make informed decisions based on your as well as your spouse’s needs. For this, couples should work toward developing an open communication channel between both partners with consideration for each other’s feelings and desires.
• Talk about your desires and aspirations.
• Listen to your partner to understand his or her needs.
• Build trust by respecting your partner’s feelings and accepting differences in opinion.
It is also important to speak to a family planning counselor who can guide you and your spouse through the various birth control options available and help you evaluate the pros and cons of each.
Family planning decisions are NOT universal
Each couple is different and has different needs. What may be right for you may not be right for another couple. Your family planning decisions may depend on several factors, including personal finances, health issues, and the time you and your spouse can devote for your future children.
Family planning is NOT only about abstinence
One reason many couples opt out of family planning is because they believe it involves refraining from ***. While abstinence is one of the best birth control methods, there are many other options that you can use and still enjoy a satisfying *** life.
Here are some common birth control methods and their effectiveness (according to the Family Planning Council).
• Condoms (for males and females) : 86% – 97% for male condoms / 79% – 95% for female condoms
• Diaphragm : 80% – 94% during first year of use
• Emergency contraceptive pills : 74% – 89%
• Injections (Depo-Provera) : 99%
• Oral contraceptive pills : 95% – 99%
• Contraceptive implants (Implanon) : 95%
• Contraceptive rings (NuvaRing) : 99%
• Contraceptive patches (Ortho Evra) : 95% – 99%
• Intrauterine devices : 98% – 99%
• Cervical caps : 60% – 90%
• Female sterilization : 99%
• Vasectomy (male sterilization) : 99%
• Synthetic hormones (Norplant) : 95% – 99%
• Vaginal spermicides : 50% – 95%
• Withdrawal : 4% – 19%
Remember, each of the above birth control methods has its advantages and disadvantages. Some of the methods are irreversible and may prevent pregnancy forever. Carefully research your options well and speak to a medical expert before you make the final decision.
