To give birth during calm times? I wonder what it’s like to not have the threat of possible world collapse when you’re bringing a new baby into the world. My first was born during the height of the pandemic in 2020 and now this baby is going to be born during all this world war 3 / Russia conflict I’m starting to think it’s me being pregnant that’s disturbing the worlds energy 🤣

@my-three-boys,
I know I’m making light of the situation as a joke but i agree with you it is really scary and so sad.

Yes! 😭 I gave birth in 2011 and 2017 which were wonderful and I had no worries. Then I had my 3rd in May 2020 and now this is my 4th and last. The differences from my first two to my last are night and day. It’s just so much more stressful. I have felt tremendous guilt bringing children into this world but then I remind myself that these children have two parents who are present and who love them and that in one way or another they will make a positive difference ❤️

Yes same here 2020 and next month.. i am just aggravated. Cant find a house. Almost 300k for a tiny crap outdated 3 bedroom with no basement or storage in a ghetto area. Gas is so high veggies are so high worst time to add kids to finances. Its 31 degrees today and yesterday was 64… the presidents awful.. worlds falling apart… demonic stuff happening. but whatever im still happy. I will stay in our little bubble and not watch news lol and ignore the giant apocalyptic lines at gas station

@ttacos,
yes this!! my husband and I made the decision to literally move in with my parents because finding a house is just impossible right now and our rent was going up over $300 a month! so we're now planning on living with them until I'm finished with my degree and find a better job. 3 children, two cats, and us. luckily we have so much space in their house. very blessed for that, but everything truly sucks right now.

Agree! So scary, I'm awake because I had a nightmare. I'm not feeling guilt as much as fear that I won't be able to protect my baby if a war does break out or if they deploy our men... 😔
Also, can't help but watch what's going on in disbelief because so many innocent people are in crossfire!

Also trying to lighten the mood a bit, not a great time for us to be naming our son Nikolai.

Sadly I think this is just the way the world is going, honestly since 9/11 I feel there has been one big world issue after another. Until world peace exists and people start giving more crap about each other then themselves I think there will always be something horrible going on. Was pregnant when Trump was elected (and the country seemed like it might split over all that) then again when Trump lost (again worried about a civil war) and now again when there is so much going on war, political fighting, abortion rights, police issues, Covid, racial tensions at a high etc.
It’s a scary world and seems to get worse by the day.

I am feeling extremely anxious today. Especially, that is so close to my home country which is Poland where my parents are. My partner also didn't have much work to do today as all his teams are based in Ukraine:'( We don't know what is coming next. I feel awful for the whole Europe as this lunatic seems to be unstoppable and no matter that I live in a different part of this continent, it will affect all of us. Like you, I feel so down that when my first son was 3 months old the pandemic started and now I am sitting in the nursery of my 2nd child and feeling so lost and just sad.
I am just thinking of regural people over there-women like us who are pregnant or giving birth right now or other parents who cannot provide any security for their children. And this time it seems to be so close that it is not only "them", it might be very soon "us".
