Giving birth during tough times

Is it a privilege only for wealthy families? And what are the reasons?

It is believed that to build up a family with someone loved is an amazing life experience as it is to raise children with care and love.

During lock-down, when everyone was sharing their own experiences as family or singles on social media, we got to know that many famous couples were expecting babies. Meanwhile the general birth rate has decreased, due to social and financial difficulties going on in common families. So, the question is: can only rich couples have kids during difficult times?

On the one hand, having babies is an overwhelming experience, which changes your life forever. Many parents are blessed that they had the privilege to bring up new humans, who will be the future for our world. In addition, children have the power to bring out our best aspects and encourage us to be the best version of ourselves every day.

On the other hand, creating a family needs sacrifices and financially stable people. During the pandemic, a lot of people lost their jobs and struggled finding another one. The whole world had many economic problems and some industries had to shut down due to unsustainable debts. In addition, high pressure and anxiety cause miscarriage, since the body is under stress.

At the end of the day, from birth derives many positive and joyful aspects, but also many responsibilities and consequences. Actually, parents from all countries should understand that the future is in their hands and make the best decisions for them and their children every time they have to.
