An interesting addition to OpMom that sets it apart from other sites I've seen is the ability to store your family's health records online. At first I didn't really see the advantage of this (and, actually, wondered if storing that kind of info online made sense at all). Then I realized that its potential usefulness lies in being able to access information remotely at, say, a hospital, when you are most likely to need it. Moms can also create "wellness reminders" that will prompt us to get yearly exams, vaccinations, and more.

The website is still under development and still in beta so some nifty features like forums, calendars, and blogs aren't available yet but appear to be right around the corner. Unfortunately, the site isn't quite ready for prime time because, at least when I registered, the Terms of Service link was broken and redirected to the site's homepage. Additionally, users must attest to being "a woman over 18 years of age." I'm not clear why younger mothers would not be welcome on the site, nor do I understand why fathers wouldn't find much of the parenting information as useful as moms surely will. Nevertheless, OpMom bears watching because once it gets out of knee-pants, it's probably going to be a great site.
