This article presents the results of a research about the meanings and contributions attributed to virtual social networks on maternity and raising by Colombian women. We carried out a qualitative research where we analyzed 17 interviews, one (1) focus group, and publications made for nine (9) months in a Facebook group and two Whatsapp groups on maternity. We concluded that these virtual spaces provide the social support that women did not find in their face-to-face networks and can constitute counter-hegemonic scenarios about motherhood and child-raising.
