has a direct impact on her health and well-being as well as on the outcome
of each pregnancy. (World Health Organization)

The table shows the family who uses artificial method such as pills
(70%), injectable, IUD and implanon or known as (10%) Birth control
Implants.
As the table shows the most popular artificial control is Birth control
pills. Birth control pills are a kind of medications that women may take daily
to prevent pregnancy. According to Planned Parenthood (2001), "less 1 to
100 women will get pregnant each year if they always take the pill each day
as directed". This means that there are still chance that a women may get
pregnant by taking pills.
Artificial family planning, also known as contraception or birth control,
is a means by which women and couples use specific medications or
equipment to avoid becoming pregnant. Modern contraception can prevent
the need for abortions, which in parts of the world may not be practiced
safely, notes the Population Information Program. Artificial family planning
has

(The

Advantages of Artificial Family Planning, Sophie Bloom, M.S., L.Ac. 2013)

The cost of having children begins in pregnancy and extends through


the child's life. Artificial family planning allows a couple to develop a financial
budget. From the budget, the couple determines how many children to have
and how far apart to have them and still live a comfortable life. Raising
children is a full-time job in addition to any full-time job outside the home.

Those who are financially stable have the option of having one parent stay
home while the other works.
This indicate that no method of birth control is 100 percent effective,
when used correctly, birth control can provide a high degree of protection
from becoming pregnant .Regular use of contraception also help protect
individuals from transmitting or obtaining sexually transmitted diseases.

Analysis and Significance:

The table shows one family took into consideration of going through
vasectomy. Vasectomy is a form of birth control for men that is meant to be
permanent.
Since these operations are permanent, they are only good for those
women or men who are certain that they do not want any more children.
Vasectomy is a permanent method of birth control. Once your semen
does not contain sperm, you do not need to worry about using other birth
control methods.
Vasectomy is a safer, cheaper procedure
complications than tubal ligation in women.

Although vasectomy is expensive, it is a one-time cost and is often


covered by medical insurance. The cost of other methods, such as birth
control pills or condoms and spermicide, is likely to be greater over time.
(Sarah Marshall, MD - Family Medicine, Femi Olatunbosun, MB, FRCSC Obstetrics and Gynecology)

This indicates the family understands how to control their family size.
Taking the permanent method route also helps the family gain control of
their finances and focus on their family priorities in comes of education,
health, non-basic food needs and basic food needs.

The data indicates that there was a higher frequency of immunization
complete vaccination than fully immunize. This means that their child was
able to receive one dose of BCG, 3 doses of OPV, 3 doses of DPT, 3 doses of
HB and one does of Anti-measles. It also shows that families have of
knowledge about immunization. On the other hand infants who were unable

to be immunize may be vulnerable to diseases, which could have been


prevented. Vaccination are offered within the Marikina City Heath Center and
Barangay Calumpang Health Center.

Getting immunized is important for at least two reasons: to protect


yourself and to protect those around you. Vaccines are the best way we have
to prevent infectious disease. A successful immunization program depends
on the co-operation of every person.
Vaccinations prevent you or your child from getting diseases for which
there are often no medical treatments. These illnesses can result in serious
complications and even death.
A small number of people may be susceptible to diseases, such as
those with impaired immune systems. These people may not be able to get
vaccinations or may not develop immunity even after having been
vaccinated. Their only protection against certain diseases is for others to get
vaccinated so the illnesses are less common.
It is recommended to get immunization so if exposure to a disease
occurs in a community, there is little to no risk of an epidemic if people have
been immunized.
