Think social networks are big today? Orange conducted research in the U.K. that yielded some pretty crazy data:

One in five new parents sent a camera-phone image of their newborn baby to friends and family within 10 minutes of it being born. Meanwhile, up to half took pictures of their babies within an hour.

Makes sense. Big number but not earth-shattering. The second…

One in seven parents have sent pictures of their unborn baby’s ultrasound scan via their mobile or email. That means over 100,000 babies every year are seen by friends and family before they’re even born.

Sharing ultrasounds has always been a tradition. Now we just have easier tools to share them. This makes sense too. And finally…

One in five parents has created a social networking profile for their baby – sometimes before it’s even been born. That’s over 57,000 babies with a Facebook, MySpace or Bebo page.

What!? This is the one that blew my mind a bit. I mean, its a little crazy, right?
