What is healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies?

• Healthy timing and spacing of pregnancy (HTSP) is
  the process of family planning that helps mother
  and family to delay, limit or space pregnancies
  to achieve the healthiest outcomes for new-born,
  mother, father and other member of the family.
• It is very important to plan before one decides
  to give birth to ones young ones. A new
  individual is altogether a new consumer for the
  society, and is dependent on the family. Proper
  planning leads to the well being of mother, child
  and family both physically and economically.
