HI Georgi - you sound really positive so that's a wonderful thing. You may not know my story but I birthed my baby girl Imogen at the RWBH spot on 28 weeks. Different circumstances to you but we were there none the less. I am assuming you are in the lovely 6Bsouth where I am sure you will be cared for as beautifully and kindly (by almost everyone!) as I was.

You are in the absolute best place to have a premmie - the staff at NICU are second to none and the obstetric team know their stuff. Your little one is much bigger than mine (Im was 815grams) but he will be small - his recovery will be quicker the more days he stays in.

After your discharge you can stay next door at Ronald Macdonald house. It is not home but it is free and close to the hospital so you can be with your baby as much as possible.
My advice is keep a diary - write down everything that has and is happening. Take lots of photos, get on a good mobile phone plan! Contact the lactation consultant before the birth and learn how to hand express. That colostrum is liquid gold for premmies and so is the breast milk. Prem babies need breastmilk - it is the best thing for them. The lactation consultant will be only too happy to come to your room to talk to you.

If you need anything. If you need support - if it all gets too much you can pm me and I will give you my contact details. I would be happy to come up to Brisbane and lend you support.

YOur baby's chances of being a happy healthy baby are huge - it's a stressful time just live each moment, talk to your baby and try and relax.
