Low: The cited frequency of placental abruption (detachment) is ~1% with about 1/10 being life threatening. In comparison your basic risk of an unexpected outcome in any pregnancy, including all such issues is ~4%. Modern prenatal care & good communication with your delivery team limit your risks & increase favorable outcome. I would focus more on preparing for a new kid in the house.
