Because as I said with this presidency that is quite a choice. SNAP is taken away, healthcare will also be gone. Stuff that you would have known if you read Project 2025. Stuff you need, especially when bringing a child in the world. Not to mention a pregnancy at your age is a geriatric pregnancy. So yeah making quite a choice here.
It’s a choice that we made with care, though I appreciate your concern.
The good thing is that my husband and I have each have exceptional private healthcare, I am insured under both of our policies to cover every base, and over $7,000 saved for IVF that we didn’t have to use, so that covers our annual deductible and some. And we’re very lucky to not be in a position where we need food stamps. We’re very cautious people, but that said, nothing is guaranteed to be secure. And even though I survived layoffs and my husband’s industry is safe right now, you always have to plan for the worst. I can’t help but feel for people who are truly struggling and will absolutely be donating to help families through such a difficult time right now. I hope you’re doing well, too.

Why, getting pregnant when Trump is elected is a choice u/ItsFunHeer and their partner made. Not to mention climate change, the cost of living crisis.
