During the bushfires, pregnant women were advised by public health authorities to avoid bushfire smoke because of its possible negative effects on foetal development. This chapter describes how our participants attempted to follow this advice by staying indoors, taping up windows and doors, purchasing air purifiers and monitoring air quality in their homes. We explore the rise of local citizen science projects that collated and shared air quality data, and ask what it meant for families to try to avoid the intense smoke and make decisions about their families’ health amid complex and rapidly changing information landscapes. We also describe the experience of escaping fire, and the significance of information sharing via social media, phone apps and radio during times of great danger. We show that being pregnant or parenting a newborn in these circumstances often created intense anxieties about exposures that were impossible to control. Such experiences, we argue, drawing on the work of Michelle Murphy (2013: np), expose the unequal distribution of risks that constitute life in climate crisis, and the need to collectively learn how to live with the ‘unchosen rearrangements of embodiments’ of the Pyrocene.
