Hi, I'm Donna Barnes. I'm a life and dating coach and owner of NY Dating Coach here in New York City. In this clip, we'll talk about how to avoid pregnancy, and of course, the obvious reason is to just not have sex, so if you're not ready to get pregnant and have a child yet, then make really cautious decisions about when you're ready to have sex. It's a big responsibility, so if you are going to have sex, birth control is an absolute must. Now remember that it's only ninety-nine percent effective, mostly. Condoms are really the best because they also protect you from STD's which is very important. So as a girl, if you want to go on birth control pills, then that and they have all sorts of ways now. They have the IUD and things that you can insert, the NuvaRing, and there's all sorts of options available to you. If you don't like the way it, you know, because they do sometimes, they make you gain a little bit of weight, or they make you, you know, your emotions change and stuff like that then. Always, always, always make sure you use a condom, and you can supplement that with a cream sometimes too, like to you know, like a spermicide. So protection is your number one concern. This is Donna Barnes from New York City.
