Six women spoke with BuzzFeed News about their fears about bringing a child into a world that feels on the edge of collapse — and why they’re choosing to do it anyway.

What the hell am I thinking right now, doing this?

“She’s hopeful for next year, when she’ll be able to see the baby and to come and stay,” she said. “It’s giving us lots of things to look forward to.” She described it as a “rolling sense of happiness,” one that came gradually rather than in a burst, because of her concerns about her age and the couple’s decision to keep the news to themselves in the early days.

Emily said she was in a space of two extremes: She’s excited to be a parent to a little boy and start her own family, but she has also questioned her decision to have a baby during this time. Recent events have not helped. Emily said she pays attention to the news but has found it hard to keep up. Pregnancy isn’t easy, regardless of what’s happening in the world. Williams, the lawyer in Atlanta, suffered such severe morning sickness in the first few months that water, Gatorade, and peanut butter crackers were the only things she could keep down — and even then with difficulty. She had headaches and dehydration. And, frustratingly, her doctors initially brushed it off as regular pregnancy symptoms.

They eventually figured out that prenatal vitamins were making Williams sick, and she stopped taking them. But for the first three months or so, she had to fight hard to keep herself and her baby hydrated and nourished — without much medical advice from her doctors.
