Social media might be harming pregnant women’s mental and physical health
After eight months of marriage, Rana, a young Jordanian living in Amman, discovered she was pregnant. She had just started her second year at university.
“I wasn’t ready for this step. I cried non-stop during exam periods because of stress and mood swings caused by pregnancy. I was drained and exhausted. I resorted to social media platforms for pregnancy information, and I delayed visiting my physician in fear that he would mock or belittle my feelings.”
