Not wanting children

Some people want children, others do not. Either is fine and your personal decision. No-one can force you to be a mother or father. You have the right to decide for yourself.

Your wish to have children or not can also change throughout your life. Maybe you would like to have children at some point in the future, but you aren’t ready now. You decide for yourself when you want children.

Contraception

If you do not have a desire to have children at present, use contraception when having sexual intercourse.

There are various means and methods of contraception. Talk with your partner about it.
