I'm at an age where my peers are most concerned with adjusting to post-college life; they're struggling with questions about careers, not childcare. And while my friends have been nothing but supportive (I already have a pretty impressive army of extremely anxious babysitters), it's understandable that it's difficult for them to relate. Here's where the Internet comes in! I'm so lucky to have grown up as a "[digital native](http://americanshelflife.wordpress.com/about/)" and have access to so many wonderful online resources. I always knew there was a social network out there for practically anyone, so it was no surprise when I discovered [Baby-Gaga](http://www.baby-gaga.com), an online community for expectant and current parents. The best thing about Baby-Gaga is the overwhelming number of young, soon-to-be mothers like me who populate it. Most are in their early- to mid-twenties, with many even in their teens. For me, it's been evolving into an excellent support system. I can search for mothers by due date, age, location, and members often share advice, sonograms and general pre-motherhood concerns. Currently, I'm on a hot pursuit to find the perfect "[due date buddy](http://forum.baby-gaga.com/forum-9.html)."
