A particular married maternal uncle of mine lived with us for a few years as things weren't going as planned for them and in those few years, he and his wife had gone through the pregnancy ward about three times, and in their fourth time, my father who was as at then being responsible for his family and this uncle of mine as well called both couples aside and advised them not to go a fourth time because they had nothing doing and he was the one shouldering all the responsibilities as they lived with us and things were pretty difficult that period.
My uncle and his wife took offense and said that my father was bitter about them being able to conceive because my mum couldn't and said that they could not do anything about being able to conceive as "God was the one who gives children" What they didn't know was that my parents had sat down and talked about not wanting kids anymore and my mom opting for birth control pills, so they could be safe.
I would also think that the reason my dad made the decision that my mom went for birth control was that she had faced a lot of challenges in the process of giving birth, having several miscarriages, stillbirth, and having to watch your 1-year-old child die in your arms, so I believed it was one of the reasons my parents had opted for birth control pills but they wouldn't understand that part because back then not many people talked about it.
Today, birth control news is being preached everywhere and in every corner of the world to help women stay alive and healthily stable while they survive the world of harsh economy and enjoy their blissful marriage. Gone are the days when birth control pills were preached against and how many saw it as taboo for a woman to use birth control pills with the phrase that it was "God who gave children".
I have read news on blogs about women who died trying to give birth or push even when it was against their doctor's advice and plea, some men are still against their wives getting the pills even when they know the complications that come with every single pregnancy and at the end of the day something that could have been avoided ends up happening.
A man has threatened divorce with his wife if she has much as bought the idea of using birth control even when he knew she was advised against becoming pregnant after her fourth child and lost the wife as a result of not wanting the wife to be on birth control pills.
In our age, we are getting different types of recommendations when it comes to birth control based on a person's health and body type, and this has helped many and thousands of women in cubbing the effect that comes with using birth control in a long run, which means that there is a disadvantage to birth control.
My mum used birth control pills, but I watched her try to cub the effects that come with using birth control, perhaps she used it without proper direction but it left a dent in my memory. Luckily I have read in blogs but not done extensive research about it, that we now have an easier, better, health-free but quite expensive way of solving the issue of women becoming pregnant and women using birth control that could affect their health in the long run.
Well, this particular procedure involves a man going through surgery to cut his vas deferens. These are the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra. After the surgery is done, sperm cannot move out of the testes, and any man who has had this surgery successfully cannot make a woman pregnant. This surgery is known as VASECTOMY. After a successful vasectomy surgery, he would be unable to make a woman pregnant and I am certain that this does not have any health effects compared to birth control taken by women.
