Jordan,
My fiance was diagnosed two days ago with preeclampsia. From what I have been hearing, at 30 weeks, our baby will be well taken care of in the NICU at the hospital, and there is great success in promoting premature babes born under such circumstances.
Although I have no answers, I know that we are fully confident in the medical staff's capabilities. At 33 weeks in the pregnancy, your partner and baby will be in good hands while being closely monitored by the medical professionals.
I sympathize with your feelings 100%. We feel helpless as partners, but we can be reassuring to our counterparts if we are calm, collected, and loving. Just be there and listen to the medical consultations and be ready for deep discussion. Encourage your wife to stretch and try to keep her circulatory system running along. I hope you both and the babe are well after dealing with this new event. Best wishes and hang in there!
