Abstract:
Pregnancy is what every woman or couple who desires a child wants to see. This is because it is pregnancy that brings about childbearing. Pregnancy and childbearing should be regulated and monitored for the good health of the woman. The central objective of this paper is discuss the health benefits of pregnancy and child spacing. The methodology applied was a qualitative descriptive method and based on secondary data. Our findings from empirical evidences show that the health benefits of pregnancy on the pregnancy woman include strengthening of the bones, reduces breast and ovarian and cancer risk in a woman, reduces painful menstrual periods, better sex life of the woman, and boast immunity. We further found out that the benefits that accrue from child spacing is not restricted to the mother. Newborns, infants, and children under five years old, mothers, men and entire society benefit. Conclusively, pregnancy and child spacing are matters of substantial national concern. Even the analysis and description of these phenomena, much less prescriptions for altering present trends, are highly controversial.
