Sarah Connor! Movies or The Sarah Connor Chronicles. While she's a bad-ass terminating machine with John at her side, she still has lots of mom moments with him.
Luxwana Troi! Star Trek: TNG whose relationship with Deanna is one of my faves.
You could probably make a case for the Many Mothers in Mad Max Fury Road, since it's implied that it's a village raising kind of situation, but there's no one woman who's specifically a mom with a specific child there.
Sarah Manning, Alison Hendrex, and Mrs. S from Orphan Black! Three moms, two generations, none of them fridged.
Aeryn Sun from Farscape! She becomes a mom in the PK Wars mini-series and her baby is basically born in combat.
Might not be the right tone, but the lead character in Arrival is a mom.
Teyla from SGA, though I stopped watching around her awful pregnancy plot so I don't remember if we ever see her actually being a mom much.
