This chapter was really interesting because there was so much to learn from. The first interesting topic that caught my eye was all the different types of methods to prevent pregnancy. I have personally had a couple of different birth controls, some of them worked and some of them didn’t. I wish I was more aware and knowledgeable of all the types of methods that are out there. In the past couple of months I decided to stop taking my pill because I felt like I needed a break and I actually think that it helped me with my workouts. I felt like my body felt better and I just felt healthier. Unfortunately, I am more scared of getting pregnant than how my body felt so I just went back to take the pill again.
The second topic was pregnancy and everything that comes when you are pregnant like depression. Since I was younger I have always thought that I did not wanted to have kids because I am stress of losing confidence and be insecure about gaining weight and having stretch marks all over my body. However, I think that if I keep staying positive and confident on working out and staying consistent, I think I could keep the body that I want it. I also think that it is sad that I am more worried about how my body would look and not about bringing my baby to live. This is why I think that I am not prepared at all to have a baby because you have to first be confident in yourself and have the self esteem to be happy and confident after the baby is born.
The last topic that I found interesting was abortion. I personally think that people should have the right to decide if they want to a child or not. Even though there is a lot of methods to avoid pregnancy, there is a lot of people who do not have enough knowledge or are in a third world country. Also, some people might not be able to afford to take care a kid. I think it should be legal in all states to have an abortion at the first semester but after that I think that it should be illegal.
