Q. I am just out of my teens, we have been married only six months. Both of us do not want a baby for at least three years. My mother-in-law is persistent that we should have a baby now. What is your advice?

A. Having a baby is both a pleasure and a great responsibility. Deciding when they are ready to start a family should be the couple’s personal choice based on sound reasoning as opposed to the purely traditional views as expressed by your mother-in-law. After all, a couple must consider many practical factors. Will the coming of the baby affect your husband’s plans and ambitions for his future? Do you have adequate finances? Have you a home of your own or would you be comfortable with the baby in a joint family? If you are a working woman, how would this affect you emotionally and financially? Generally doctors recommend that a couple start a baby within two years of marriage, so that if there are any factors that prevent conception, corrective measures can be taken at an early stage. Since you are very young, you can wait longer if you desire. The conception can be terminated by injecting tablets if reported in time. To ensure that you use the most suitable contraceptive method, consult your doctor or visit a family planning clinic. I would advise you to discuss the subject frankly but sympathetically with your mother-in-law.
