Baby born at 33 weeks?

What to expect? Any story's?

I have type 1 diabetes ( well controlled) and have early stages of preeclampsia. Waiting on an ultrasound on friday to find out weather the baby is growing still. The growth rate has declined over the past month. They might Caesar me if the baby has not shown much growth this scan. It is an IVF baby so i am quite concerned. Thank you for your answers.

    Your baby will not be delivered unless it is better for both of you.

    At 33 weeks, the baby should be around 3 pounds. The baby will have difficulty maintaining its temperature, and *might* need some support breathing for a short time. (S)he will be in an incubator. She may not be fed orally right away, but if you'd like to preserve the opportunity to breastfeed, please start to use an electric breastpump within the first 12 hours (first 2 is even better, but may be unrealistic). If you are a type 1 diabetic, breastfeeding will be very important for your baby.

    The doctors and nurses will help you to understand all that's going on with your baby. Ask them as many questions as you want. As you get stronger, you will be taught to care for the baby. The first day or two it may be difficult to visit, but it will get easier each day. Talk to your baby, and touch her/him so (s)he knows you're there.

    You can expect the baby to be in the hospital to within two weeks on either side of the due date

    My daughter replaced into born at 35 weeks. i comprehend that 2 weeks makes a great distinction, yet i needed to share my adventure with you. I had 0 problems my entire being pregnant and had no clues that i might pass into early hard artwork until my water broke. whilst my daughter replaced into born, she weighed 5lb 4oz, no longer undesirable for that early. She replaced into having situation respiration from the get-pass however the NICU nurses enable me carry her for a jiffy after she replaced into born earlier they took her from the maternity ward into the NICU. Then the wellbeing care provider gave me a pair stitches and that i needed to pass see my daughter however the nurse does no longer enable me pass until I ate dinner. That replaced into the strangest section - it replaced into like she replaced into never born by fact there i replaced into no longer pregnant and not keeping my infant. My daughter replaced into placed on an outstanding air flow device that helped to "inflate" her lungs and an IV for fluids. They switched from the effective air flow to a common nasal form of oxygen after approximately 36 hours. that's whilst i replaced into able to hold her for the 1st time considering she replaced into born, and additionally to nurse her for the 1st time. i think of they bumped off the IV after 3 - 4 days. She replaced into completed with the oxygen after an afternoon or so, yet she began to advance jaundice so she stayed interior the NICU for some greater days, a week in finished. It replaced into an exceptionally bodily and emotionally grueling time for my husband and that i. i replaced into very fortunate - my daughter replaced into never in forthcoming threat, basically had some hindrances. She replaced into sluggish in gaining weight yet that replaced into frequently by fact i replaced into an green, dazed mom who as quickly as we did ultimately come homestead had too plenty "help" looking after the newborn as quickly as I would desire to have basically been nursing her little face off. Now she is 5 a million/2 months previous,virtually 12 pounds, and drowsing like an angel in her crib upstairs without a care interior the international. good luck, and God bless!
