Hi, don’t worry to much I am in the same stiuation..27tk weeks.. first she should be do diet, less carbohydrates and less sugar.. mainly it happens because of pregnancy diabetes.. did you do detail ultarason? If everything is normal, it means babies heath okay.. sometimes doctor say you can do early birth because when amnitiotix water much, babies grow up quickly.. for example now you are in 28th weeks but babies weight should be 30th weeks..

my baby was born early and was the size of a 28 week baby. If they know babies are to come early your wife will have steroid injections to develop their lungs which is what I had. We had a 5 week stay in the nicu but this was only because she was so small - no breathing difficulties. She is now a thriving healthy nearly 4 year old. Wishing you lots of luck xx
