Over 3500 registered users have posted thousands of messages on these well-organized discussion boards, which were added to the Mothering website in May 2000. The boards provide an exceptional opportunity for site visitors to participate in the Mothering community, share thoughts, offer suggestions, find support, and locate "kindred spirits" in their home town.

Numerous topics of discussion are organized into seven general categories:

• Getting to Know the Mothering Community
• Pregnancy and Birth
• Breastfeeding
• Family Living
• Health
• Education
• Natural Living

The discussions cover such specific topics as home birth, supportive birth practitioners, postpartum depression, adoption, vaccinations, toddlerhood, alternative health care, unschooling, organic gardening, and favorite books. The Mothering Boards draw compassionate, articulate, and interesting questions, stories and responses from a worldwide community of like-minded friends.

If you have a question, concern, or a thought to share, or you are seeking new friends online or in your home community, visit the Mothering boards today!
