Islam believes in family planning.
This can come in the form of withdraw, barrier protection (pill, condom, diaphragm etc.)
Also in the first trimester Islam does not believe the soul has been placed in the body and abortion is permitted.

Muslims should try to have as many children as they can, because this is the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who said: “Marry the one who is loving and fertile, for I will be proud of your great numbers before the nations.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2050; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 1805).
Having more children increases the numbers of the ummah, and increasing the numbers of the ummah is a source of its glory, as Allaah says, reminding the Children of Israel of His blessings:
“and made you more numerous in man-power”
[al-Isra’ 15:6 – interpretation of the meaning]
And Shu’ayb said to his people:
“And remember when you were but few, and He multiplied you”
[al-A’raaf 7:86 – interpretation of the meaning]
No one can deny that having a large number is a source of pride and strength for the ummah, contrary to what those pessimists think who say that large numbers causes poverty and starvation in a nation.
If the ummah increases in number, puts its trust in Allaah and believes His promises as mentioned in the aayah,
“And no moving (living) creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allaah”
[Hood 11:6 – interpretation of the meaning], then Allaah will make things easy for them and will grant them independence of means from His bounty.
Having children is the right of both husband and wife, and neither one of them has the right to deprive the other from doing so.
It is prohibited to take any measure which would permanently prevent pregnancy, or cause infertility. It is permissible, however, to use temporary birth control methods to delay pregnancy, as in the case of delaying pregnancy for the two years of breast feeding the first child.
It is prohibited to use any birth control method which would harm the body, as the Prophet said: "Do not (impose) harm, nor (inflect) harm". He also said: "And your body has a right upon you".

No.
There are some scholars and so-called learned men who will debate against it, but much of muslim rulings on everyday affairs rely heavily on logic and common sense.
All medications and treatments have negative as well as positive effects. Contraception is allowed so long as there are valid reasons and no direct harm.

Contraception is not banned in Islam. In Islam you are allowed to plan your family.
