Taking hormonal birth control may lead to various side effects such as weight gain, mood swings, a reduced sex drive, the risk of blood clots, and an increased chance of breast cancer. But sometimes, it may feel like there are limited options available.
Currently, the only contraceptive methods for men are condoms, which are often not favored by long-term couples, or vasectomies, which are permanent and recommended for those who do not wish to have children in the future.
Men have been reluctant to participate in trials for hormonal birth control due to reported side effects, similar to those experienced by women. This highlights the imbalance in discussions about fertility and pregnancy, underscoring the role of women.

Creating a birth plan can help ensure that the individual's needs and preferences are respected during childbirth.
