it seems like the anti-natalist mindset is starting to take root in /r/Philippines and would like to hear what the fediverse has to say about it

Disclaimer : I'am a proponent of anti-natalism mainly cause of how messed up things have gotten from economy , politics and even societal norms I don't necessarily wish for the extinction of the human race but rather for a paradigm shift on how we can break free from the infinite growth mindset given that we live in a finite world

Rising costs din siguro on even trying to have a successful pregnancy.

Personal anecdote: 2 years ago, my wife and I tried to conceive a child twice and were unsuccessful both times. We found out she has a blood condition called APAS (Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome) which causes the mother’s body to reject the baby. Consultations and treatment from medical specialists are really expensive, so we’ve decided not to try again until our budget can afford all those medical needs.
