Is social media helping new Mums?

Looking back 30 years to becoming a new Mum, with all the joys and nappies, fractured nights and first smiles, it was fun but lonely. The isolation of being at home was total, and not at all the Sesame Street parade of human contact I had envisioned. Going out each day to groups and friends was great, and it was nice when their Dad came home from work; but now, it seems this isolation is broken down, and Mums are constantly in contact with friends and family.
This supportive contact must surely lessen the problem of peri-natal depression, what are your thoughts?
