Pregnancy only happens when a man and women have sex. So, not having sex (abstinence) is the only sure way to prevent pregnancy. Otherwise, wearing a condom can reduce the risk of pregnancy and also protect one from getting a sexually transmitted disease.

Learn more about condoms and other kinds of contraception in the contraception section.

 

Pregnancy is not a one sided thing.  It takes both a woman and a man for pregnancy to occur.  In other words, men are just as responsible as women in raising a child. 

Being a loving, caring, and supporting father is important part of fatherhood.  When fathers are involved with their children's lives, children are more succesful in school, have better self esteem, and grow up in healthy settings.  To learn more about fatherhood, check out the Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiative for information on events and resources for fathers.
