- Notes
- Maria went to Bukudumira village the upper section to teach about Family planning, it’s benefits to the mother, father, children and the community at large and clearing the myths about family planning. Members defined family planning with several definitions Sylvia said it is taking tablets daily to control many children, having few children etc. the health educator clarified and said it is the when an individual or a couple decide on the number of children they want to have and the spacing between their births. The types of family planning were discussed, Maria said we have only two types of family planning; 1. the artificial family planning methods. 2. the natural family planning methods. Members were asked by Maria to give the natural family planning methods; Sam said withdraw method, Nabirye said breastfeeding method, safe days among others. Nankwanga shared some of the local ways of preventing pregnancy, putting the used pad in front of the front door. The health educator said that the natural family planning methods are not 100% perfect in preventing pregnancy. The different methods of artificial family planning were also discussed and members mentioned pill plan, implant,IUD,condom for bot female and male etc. Maria demonstrated each method, the duration it takes,and it’s benefits. The condoms are very good because they prevent both pregnancy and the sexually transmitted diseases unlike the other methods.
