A screenshot of the cover of an article in Glamour Magazine, titled โmy algorithm knew I was pregnant the day I took a positive test - and the trauma content followedโ. The article is written by me (Ysabel Gerrard).
I confess Iโve been struggling with my social media use since I learned I was pregnant.
Despite dubbing myself an โexpertโ on platforms in my work life and knowing precisely why this was happening, I still found it hard to digest the content I was being recommended via Instagram and TikTok.

Desperately trying to get my Twitter fix like a child who wished for a Tamagotchi only to be given an off brand one that fails at both quality and functionality.
