Abstract
Today, new mothers are experiencing parenthood differently. Digital resources can provide a wealth of information, present opportunities for socializing, and even assist in tracking a baby's development. However, women are often juggling the role of motherhood with other commitments, such as work. The aim of this workshop is to understand the digital support needs and practices during parenthood from the perspective of employed mothers. We are interested in exploring the ways that women utilise the technologies which have been designed to support mothers, and specifically, the importance of work-life balance and the various roles that mothers play. There is a need to better understand and identify which technologies are being used to support working women through support working women through their motherhood journey, and ensure a healthy transition to support women's changing identities.
