My DS coped ok while I was with Kayla. DH gained some appreciation for what my days were like looking after DS, doing washing, keeping on top of the kitchen etc hahaha. We made use of video calling and of course they visited most of the day anyway, so DS & DH coped quite well without me. There was a few rough nights where he wanted me I think, but they got through it.
Try not to worry too much, it's a pretty safe gestation to be having bubs from what I understand (completely uneducated opinion of course haha). It's more a waiting game than anything.. for them to mature a bit to be able to feed well and for things to stabilise. Kayla's apnea was just an immaturity thing and she just needed monitoring, and they keep an eye on blood sugar levels and jaundice. There would obviously be more to it than that but that was my observation from hanging around an SCN for 3 weeks!
The longer your bub stays put the better tho, so I hope bub is still nice & comfy in there! My DS was born at 37 weeks and was considered term, and was fine, just a bit of jaundice.
