What do you need for a preemie?

I have placenta abruption and am currently 22 weeks. At 24 weeks I am receiving steroid shots so her lungs and brain develop quicker but my OB is hoping for 28 weeks +. It would be an amazing miracle if we got to 37 weeks-he said he doesn’t want to go past that mark even though I wish we could go at least til 38 weeks. So I will be dealing with a preemie. So now the question! I know what I need for a regular newborn/infant/baby, but what else do they make special for preemies besides diapers? Do they have special pacifiers/bottles? Random things? Will the hospital provide her with special things since she will most likely be in there for a while? Thank you so much :-)
Mindy-Obviously not as I am sitting at home on bed rest..get your med facts straight before answering a question you didn’t even really answer. 1/4 of my placenta is basically ripped..if I wasn’t stable yes I would be in the hospital, but really should you be questioning my situation when I’m asking for advice and obviously dealing with it?
I definitely will attempt breastfeeding/pumping, I’m glad she is stable right now both her and I at 22 weeks, just hoping we can make it to 24 with the steroid shots then. Its not easy I know that nothing I did affected this but I had my second opinion from a high risk OB today and I do have the abruption..idk what she was talking about.
Could you provide me a link with the preemie boppy :-)
I also have the placenta previa they saw at 15 weeks-which I believe put us at a higher risk for the abruption. Glad to know I’m not the only one. Thank you.
