No desire to have children

Some people want to have children, other people do not.

If you do not want to have children, that is fine. Nobody can force you to have children. You have the right to choose. Maybe you want to have children, but you are not ready yet. You can choose when you want to have children.

If you do not (yet) have a desire to have children, use contraception during sexual intercourse. Talk with your partner about it.

Geen kinderwens

Sommige mensen willen kinderen, anderen niet. Praat er met uw partner over

Het is oké als u geen kinderen wilt. Niemand kan u dwingen om kinderen te krijgen. U heeft het recht om te kiezen. Misschien wilt u kinderen, maar bent u er nu nog niet klaar voor. U kunt kiezen wanneer u kinderen wil krijgen.

Als u (nog) geen kinderwens heeft, gebruik anticonceptie bij geslachtsgemeenschap
