HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this is premature delivery and this is of course matter of concern and better to see the neonatologist for better advise because this may need complete clinical examination and without this nothing can be said, because delivery in just second trimester is very unlikely and one can not have complete organogenesis, take care.
I find this answer helpful
