I've noticed lately that despite being outside every day, there seems to be a lack of pregnant women where there usually were tons (grocery stores, parks, etc). Now I know why this is happening, of course. Bad weather (though it was still just as bad in the summer so idk), declining birth rate, etc. I just wanna know if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Even though I post a lot of candids, I’ve noticed that on days where I’m out 5-8 hours looking for pregnant women and there are just none, even at peak hours like mid mornings and after school times when they’re more likely to be out. I will say that I’ve been seeing a lot of pregnant teens and pregnant chicks that are barely 21 but there are days like recently when it was just pregnant women back to back to back. I think it’s a slow down in birth rate.
A lot of women in my age range (mid twenties to early thirties) don’t want kids and just want to travel and live a mock- influencer lifestyle and don’t want kids because they don’t like them or think they’re too expensive for the lifestyle they want (they are expensive) I would just expect to see less and less in the coming years unless the teen pregnancy craze blows up more than it is now

It's too expensive to be having kids like that. Dude's are figuring how that $10 in trojan condoms can save them thousands in the long run.

Probably the same thing that’s keeping me from getting pregnant again: the economy is horrible and It costs an arm and a leg to feed the kids we already have so the responsible thing is to not have anymore

There are tons of factors. Poor economic projections, cultural change, grocery prices at least doubling in price in the states while wages have not. My wife and I are holding off on our third until we have more money, and we definitely aren't alone in that thinking.

Inflation hits hard. My wife and are are holding off on having a 2nd, because the costs.

The 1990s and 2000s baby booms evolved into 2010s and 20s baby busts (it explains my fetish for pregnant women was they became more numerous in the 1990s than comparably the 1970s and 80s, oddly enough, I was a 1980 baby). Let people decide if they want a child, esp. the kind of couple who loves pregnancy AND raising a child are a perfect pair for a sensual pregnancy while they anticipate the arrival of a desired and planned child. Unlike the 1946-65 baby boom, there will be more personal freedom in wanting to make a child as well being pregnant if that's what the person capable of being the one to carry is prepared and comfortable with. BTW, I'm in my 40s and never had a biological child, even though I have been in relationships in my adult life for a quarter a century.

1. Have you thought about asking some family for help? Parents & other will help if you ask nicely. They might even have a college fund for you. 

2. You could be a surrogate. Then you can enjoy pregnancy & get between 20-60K plus. Even more if it's twins. The economy is horrible thanks to China. Their government acts like Trump & most Republicans, meaning: they don't accept any responsibility for anything, they don't think they did anything wrong. They feel no sarrow for the 660K people that died from Covid from March 2020-April 2021. (All parks in the USA had a big photo of everyone who died from covid in their city & their age, occupation & if they were married or had kids.) They jusy swept things under the rug, killed "patient zero". 

3. Everything is expensive (started in 2020) bc: everyone had to be paid more because every job became a dangerous work environment. Everyone was worried about being sick or dying. Everyone had to be paid more (even if it's just a few bucks more) so companies had to rise prices bc if they didn't then companies would lose $. Prices had to be raised even more once half the population got a paycut & the other half got their jobs eliminated. Then long ass lines were everywhere inside out. Me & my mom lost our jobs a month after getting big paycuts in 2020. Took us 6 months to find a new job (Nov). 

Lastly: until everyone was fully vaccinated-> since covid tookover every hospital & every doctor had to help out, preggos had to risk covid giving birth in hospitals. They had to be in the room alone with their doctor. The husband or boyfriend wasn't allowed. They could only see their wives or girlfriends once she was done & in a wheelchair.
