Waiting to have a child until the mother is at least eighteen years old ensures that her body is healthier and prepared to sustain a healthy pregnancy. It is also good to have a space of at least two years before trying to get pregnant again after a live birth, as the mother’s body needs time to fully recover.

Having access to health systems and social support so that the best physical, emotional, and psychological outcomes happen for you is your fundamental human right as parents to be.
