Mom Social Network: List of Online Communities for Mothers

Top mom social networks on the Web, including niche social communities for mothers as well as those organized by language, nationality or specialty interest. This list contains social networks and online communities relating specifically to parenting, motherhood and child-rearing.

A social network is defined as an online service, platform or website which is focused largely around uniting individuals and allowing them to communicate and interact. Facebook currently is the world's largest and most popular social networking platform, having supplanted previous champions such as MySpace and Friendster. Though there are many mothers on all of the major social networks - and entire "mommy" communities have sprung up on Facebook - several niche social networks exist to specifically service the needs of mothers, particularly new or expectant mothers looking for advice and insight from peers.

This list gathers together major players in the parenting social networking field. It is an open list, so if you have a favorite mommy-themed social network that isn't featured, enter it below to make sure it's included on the list.
