Pregnant after a preemie
Hey guys! So I’m currently 20w6d pregnant with baby #2, a little princess. And I need a little help. I’ve been terrified to buy anything for her because we haven’t reached “viability” yet. I had my son at 29 weeks and wasn’t prepared at all. My son is now 20months old and I’m so scared about everything. I’m on the Makena injection which makes me feel like shit but it’s supposed to help my daughter so I suck it up and do it. Plus my cervix sucks at being a cervix and I have to go weekly for length and thickness checks. I live in SC and MUSC won’t try to save her until I’m atleast 24 weeks, which makes sense. My thing is, I have no idea what to get. I know if she’s born early like my son she’ll have to stay in the nicu. But like, what do I buy? Do I need to buy preemie diapers? Preemie clothes? When should I pack a hospital bag just Incase I do go into labor? I’m not due until January 18th but all my doctors told me that I’ll be lucky to carry her past October 26(28 weeks) because of my history and everything. I’m really scared and I know I need to start buying stuff sooo give me ideas??
