When you're stressing about what to wear to an event, or even some every day thing.
I've gotten so used to wearing my pandemic-pants, that I had total outfit-anxiety while getting ready for Candi and Ben's wedding. I had it all picked out, ready the night before, then changed my mind shortly before walking out the door and changed the whole thing. What's the point of all the anxiety? As if anyone cares!

When the thought of having children scares you because of the multitude of problems that could occur from the timeline of their birth to adulthood.
Spouse: want to have kids?
Me: Umm...sure.
Spouse: are those tears of joy?
Me: no tears of anxiety. What if something goes wrong?
Spouse: thats called pre parental anxiety. I understand.
Pre-parental anxiety is what modern day parents worry about when deciding whether to have children or not. Its a composite of anxieties about multiple issues including about societal shifts, climate change and FOMO about regretting not having children later on but not having the option available then.
Male partner: I'm not sure if I want to have kids, there are so many people already in the world today and limited resources. Plus I like enjoying our kid-free time right now.
Female partner: I agree, but if we wait too long and then decide we want them in 10 years, it might be difficult later.
Male partner: Its pre-parental anxiety.
The anxious feeling you get right before you take a shot.
