Preemie Parenting Resources

When Ashley was born I did not have a computer at home and had never really been on line. As soon as I was able to, I started searching for resources and came up with a lot of great sites for Premature Babies. This page is dedicated to finding good links for preemie parenting. I will constantly be updating the links as time allows.

If you or someone you know is presently living the life of being a preemie parent and need someone to talk to please feel free to email me or check out some of the support groups in the links below.


ON LINE LINKS AND RESOURCES:

Preemie-L Discussion Groups:
Having a premature baby can be a scary and lonely business. This web site can offer support and the benefits of a wide range of experiences. They have a great email support group and other discussion forums.... check it out.

The Early Edition
A newsletter stemming from a collection of wisdom and discussions from the on-line support group, Preemie-L.

For Parents of Preemies:
An excellent resource put together by medical professionals.

Comeunity
This web site offers support and lots of information about premature babies and children, as well as information for children with disabilities.

Baby Zone Premature Baby Page
A lot of good information for preemie parents as well as other baby info.

Tommy's Cyber Nursery:
A very nice site with great stories and links. Apparently it was one of the first preemie sites on the web.

Alexa's Story
I think other parents are one of the best resources we have as preemie parents. This is the homepage of our dear friends that I met through the preemie-l digest. Please check it out.

Outcomes by Gestational Age
This link will bring you to a chart with outcomes for premature infants in various areas of common difficulty in preemies.... ie: estimated days to be on respirator, etc... This chart is in no way to be taken as an exact science but rather a good estimation for the average preemie.

MORE LINKS TO COME......
