I don't know where else to post this. You girls are my support so I hope no one minds if I post this here.
My ex's girlfriend is 29 weeks pregnant. She was admitted to the hospital last night because she was leaking fluid and having contractions. They put her on magnesium for the contractions and extreme bed rest while keeping her in the hospital. They were trying to get the baby to stay put as long as possible but this morning her water broke. The baby will be coming soon.
We haven't told DD since this will be her half sister and at 6 yrs old, she doesn't need to worry. I feel bad for not telling her. Am I making the wrong decision? We will tell her when the baby is born and she will know she's early because she knew the baby wasn't supposed to come until summer.
Please keep mom and baby in your thoughts and prayers. I don't want them to loose the baby or have any complications with either of them. The baby is weighing 3.8 lbs right now and the OB seems extremely positive. They lost a baby last year around this time at 18 weeks.
I just don't think my daughter could handle things at all if anything bad were to happen. I am scared and nervous for everyone involved.
Thanks for listening!

Dx: PCOS and short luteal phase
18 cycles (3 with our RE) - Metformin + Clomid + HCG booster did the trick!

I've known 2 sets of twins and a singleton born more 10 weeks earlier and all are very healthy. I'm just worried. I'm scared for something to happen or for DD to see her sibling in NICU or sick. It all stresses me out so much!
