Abstract

This study aims to find out how pregnant mothers utilize the digital media to fulfill their need of information and reduce their anxiety. This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach and motivated information management theory. This study uses in-depth interview as the data collection techniques, the data results are analyzed and validated using source triangulation test. The results showed that pregnant mothers are looking for information about Covid-19, such as daily cases, prevention and treatment, to the current Covid-19 trend. Pregnancy during the Covid-19 pandemic is a special condition that also affects the mental condition of the mothers. The emergence of digital information media provides an alternative for users to seek information. Social media, in addition to virtual interaction platforms, now makes it possible to share information about pregnancy. Pregnant mothers should make a selection of the information circulating about pregnancy in order to avoid hoaxes.
