Accidentally started a second medicaid application. Will this affect my original app that I submitted?

It’s been a while since I applied the first time and now both mine and my kid’s benefits have ended, as I failed to respond to their notices. (Which is actually untrue. I responded through the physical form they sent in the mail. They continued to send notices. I was unable to login to my account. So I created a new account and submitted a new application.)

However… I accidentally started a second medicaid application for my daughter, not realizing I had already applied and submitted for her under my original application. I didn’t get far in the application when I stopped, and obviously I haven’t submitted it, but it still exists and is “in progress”. I cannot delete it. Will this affect my original submitted application? I’m getting anxious as I’m due with baby number 2 in about a month, and it’s been about 40 (business) days since the application was submitted. Online says it takes 45 days but it’s definitely been longer than that if you count weekends.
