A Sociodemographic Questionnaire, a semi-structured Interview and the Network Map were applied. The data were treated together from content analyze. It was found that family, friends, neighbors, "bosses"/"mistress"and professionals/services support motherhood. These included functions such as material help, social company, emotional support, advice and social regulation.
