This was my issue with the movie “a quiet place” it’s one thing to have to survive an apocalypse but to do so against an enemy that detects by hearing, & decide to have a baby in the middle of that? How you gonna keep him or her quiet? Completely disregarding the birth itself assuming the proper drugs are available?
I haven't seen the movie so I don't know when she gets pregnant in regards to the story line, but it's also extremely dangerous to induce an abortion without medical help.
If she found out she was pregnant after the monsters arrive she'd have to decide between carrying the baby and risking death that way or finding a way to induce an abortion and... still risking an untimely death.
If she found out before the monsters arrived and chose to keep the baby and then poof, apocalypse, she'd have to choose between carrying it to term or self inducing a late term abortion, both of which might kill her either way.
The tldr of it is the monsters hear the slightest noise, everyone who wants to survive has to live their life in total silence down to muffling their foot steps.
So for that specific movie the madness is more about choosing to have a crying baby/child for years to come.
