Empowerment Practices and Identity Formation of Pregnant Women on Social Media
Pregnancy is an important stage for women to prepare for the motherhood.On the one hand,pregnant women are constrained by traditional motherhood concepts and medical systems,and on the oth-er hand,they break the silence through pregnancy performances and emotional venting on social media.Through social media,pregnant women unleash emotional energy through the interaction and support be-tween female users,thereby promoting the awakening of maternal consciousness,and strengthening ma-ternal identity through group value norms such as opinion leaders'guidance and increasing feminist is-sues.This study suggests that pregnant women connect and aggregate through social media,use social media to complete empowerment practices,use symbolic narratives to construct a"grand"maternal im-age,gain more personal rights such as family discourse power in the game,which could influence and change the inherent structure and power pattern of the family under patriarchy.
