Maternity leave thoughts

Just a disclaimer: this blog deals with some sensitive issues such as pregnancy, childbirth, reproductive health, and mental health (specifically depression). I also have strong opinions about social media, as well as screen time and social media for children, which may come up in this post or others. These are not a criticism of the views of any reader; they’re just mine.

I wanted to mark my return to work with a blog post, because I haven’t managed to write anything since um, July 2024. I have certainly worked on some drafts, including this one, but I haven’t completed anything!

Anyway, let’s dive in. I mostly wanted to talk about social media and privacy (what a surprise!) as well as my pre- and post-birth experiences.

Content warning: I do briefly talk about addiction in this post. I’d like to add a further disclaimer that I don’t write this to judge anyone else’s habits, I’m just documenting my own concerns and making changes I want to see in myself. If it helps someone else make a positive change, great!

When I was about eight years old, my parents brought home our first family computer. I was absolutely terrified of doing something wrong on it, and yet here I am 25 years later with a career in IT.
