Due to a diagnosis of vasa praevia, it looks like I will be hospitalized at 32 weeks and if all goes to plan, deliver soon-to-be-baby (nicknamed B2 (as in Baby2) by DH and myself) by C-section at 34 weeks. I'm wondering what to expect in terms of B2. DS was almost 4 weeks early (2706 grams) and he didn't require special care, but we worked very hard at feeding him (initially breast with bottle top ups and then exclusively breast - but it wasn't easy as he was a very sleeping baby). His sucking reflex was initially just so-so, he was jaundiced (2nd hospital stay required), and had reflux for 7 months. Once diagnosed, losec helped tremendously. Anyway, how different will a 34 week baby be? OB2 is measuring in the 50%-ile and is predicted to be about 5 pounds at birth. I know I'll have steroid injections as well. Also, will I be able to hold B2 after delivery? I was so excited because although I was able to hold DS after delivery, during recovery (from C-section) policy was that DS couldn't be with me so DS was with DH. Hospital has changed policy and I was so excited that I'd be able to spend recovery holding B2. I'm seeing my OB on Wed, but wanted to start collecting information prior to appointment (I just returned from ultrasound confirming vasa praevia diagnosis). thanks!
