See below...: There is no actual medical or surgical treatment for abruption. If an abruption is diagnosed near term, the baby is delivered. Very early in pregnancy, the only thing that can be done is to keep the pregnancy under close observation. Sometimes bed-rest and other restrictions are imposed in an attempt to keep it from getting worse. Your doctor will guide you through this. Best wishes!

Watch and wait: Abruption is a bleed from the placenta; a disruption of either the mother or baby's blood supply. Many causes: trauma, high blood pressure, drugs (cocaine), preterm labor, polyhydramnios. Can be very large or very small, so even US can miss a diagnosis. Symptoms: usually preterm contractions, sometimes vaginal bleed. Fetal monitoring is necessary. Wait, watch; abruption can self-heal sometimes.
