Worries and information seeking during pregnancy: a cross-sectional study among 1402 expectant Norwegian women active on social media platforms
Pregnancy and postpartum worries are widespread among pregnant women using social media, especially among first-time mothers and those with financial insecurity. Most pregnant women prefer quality-assured websites and healthcare personnel for information. Antenatal care could benefit from offering more tailored information and follow-up, particularly for first-time mothers and financially insecure women.
