Family planning involves some of the most important decisions you’ll make in your life. River Bend Medical Associates provides compassionate and judgment-free reproductive health care to women, men, and teens.
Family planning helps individuals and families to plan for their preferred family size and spacing of children or to prevent undesired pregnancy.
Having a baby changes the course of your life. River Bend Medical Associates is here to help make sure you don’t start that time of life until you’re ready. Our family medical practice offers family planning services like Nexplanon placement, and other contraceptive options to women in and around the Sacramento area.
What is Family Planning?
Family planning is choosing appropriate birth control measures based on your decisions concerning preventing pregnancy, becoming pregnant, how many children you would like to have, and how far apart you would like to space them.
Family planning is a good way to ensure you don’t become a mother until you want to, but it’s not just for women who haven’t had a baby yet. Family planning ensures that you only have additional children when you want them, allowing you to focus on the children you already have.
At River Bend Medical Associates, we understand that family planning decisions can be complex and highly personal.
That’s why we work to provide the services and support you need to live your life on your terms. Our team of doctors, nurses, and support staff offers a full range of family planning options for heterosexual and same-sex couples and individuals. We are here to help you choose the best options for you.
