hi, my wife has been admitted to hospital. she had a cyst somewhere around the ovary during the 1st pregnancy. this didnt cause her much pain and we had a healthy boy through c- section. however, this time round she is 26 weeks pregnant. the same cyst wasn't noticed during her scans and it has grown to 9cm. its the 2nd time shes been in hospital in the past fortnight.
the heartbeat and baby are fine at the moment. they have given her steriods to help develop the babies lungs at a faster rate.
. does this mean they are looking to operate soon?
. if the baby is born around 28 weeks will it stay in hospital in a baby unit up until the 40th week?
. is there anything to worry about having a premature baby? i.e. illnesses, defects...
. whats the earliest they can bring the baby out?
all comments are appreciated. im hoping everything clears up and she has a c-section somewhere close to the due date at worst. thanks.
