My pride and joy, 7 months, 14 days old and working on his 4th tooth!

My name is Karen Cork. I am the proud mother of Griffin "Preemie Power!" Cork, born at 32 weeks gestation due to complete placenta previa. I designed this page to not only help women get the "low down" on their PLACENTA PREVIA, but also to show off my Griffin (aka 'Pickle' or 'Porkchop' or 'Buh Buh').

Disclaimer: Most of the information on this page is PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. Your doctor should always be consulted. The stories included are from women (or husbands of women) who have experienced one or more pregnancies with a complete or partial placenta previa, henceforth referred to often as PP.

I, and all the other PP moms featured here, are ready and willing to offer support, lend an ear, and answer any of your questions, about anything, at anytime.  If there is anything I enjoy talking about more than my son it's......MYSELF!

Maintaining this site would not be possible without the help of ALL the past PP Moms who offer their support, encouragement and experience in the sharing of their stories.

Preemie-l Discussion Forum
I recommend that you avoid this site UNLESS you are SURE that you will have a pre-term infant, or if you are now the parent of a preemie baby. THIS SITE HAS SAVED MY LIFE SINCE COMING HOME WITH MY PREMATURE SON. It is a wonderful source of information, support, questions and answers about everything and anything, and most of all..Friendship. There are, however, some disturbing stories and topics that may only cause a PP pregnant woman even more worries.

Inkan's Bed Rest Resource
Here is a site that you WILL NOT WANT TO MISS if you are on bed rest due to Placenta Previa. Inkan's Preemie Home Page is a celebration of bed rest (Inkan did not have PP, but PROM - premature rupture of the membranes) and spent some gosh awful long time in bed. WELL...she has a page of her site dedicated to "what to do if you are stuck in bed", plus some fabulous photos of she and her Swedish men (one big, one little)

Here are some mindless links to pass the time if you are on bed rest:

If you are stuck in bed rest and are thinking of spending the time studying for your English Degree, my sister is the girl to see! (ooohh that rhymes...i am on my way to a PHD!)

HERE IS THE BEST LINK OF ALL!!! MILES AND MILES OF INFORMATION ABOUT MY HERO, MY FAVORITE, MY IDOL, MY OBSESSION, MY REALITY CHECK (when he figures out what a weirdo I am and has me arrested...)! This is the Neil Diamond Home Page, with everything and anything you want to know about him and there are a million links to a bunch of other great Neil sites and they all have links to more and more and it just goes on and on and on...... http://users.aol.com/klerxt/diamondhome.html
