Our baby is going to be delivered at 34 weeks & 3 days via CS due to vasa previa. I looking to get feedback from other ppl who had babies at 34 weeks & how the baby was & length of stay for baby in hospital.
Thanks
Hi. My DS2 was 33 weeks +3 days, he was huge weighing in at 2750g & 49cm long. Which is big for the gestation. (the size of a 35-36wk baby)

Day 1& 2 days were in NICU (neonatal intensive care unit, as you have probably already been told) and he was in a humdicrib (isolet) for 4 days. He was lucky that he didn't need extra oxygen, but was on a CPAP to help his lungs inflate as he was born without cerficiant Surfactant (that lines the lungs & helps inflation) he BF on the second night, but it exhausted him so much.

Day 3 he was moved to SCBU1 (in isolet) & Day 4 he went into 'the big bed' (newborn hospital cot)
Day 6 he moved up to SCBU 2 & was there until Day 18 when we finally got to take him home.
Rule of thumb is the doctors usually like to monitor bub until they are 'term' and then they will assess when they can go home.

Best of luck. Lots of cuddles helps to make the time go faster.
