Abstract

We investigate whether, and if so how, birthing narratives written by new parents on Reddit changed during COVID-19. Our results indicate that the presence of family members significantly decreased and themes related to induced labor significantly increased in the narratives during COVID-19. Our work builds upon recent research that analyze how new parents use Reddit to describe their birthing experiences.
