If the abruption is mild, the pregnancy may continue with close monitoring. Bedrest is usually prescribed in the hospital, or possibly at home if the abruption is very mild. If other complications precipitated the abruption (such as hypertension or preeclampsia), they will need to be treated and monitored along with the abruption. If the placenta continues to separate from the uterus, if bleeding becomes heavy, or if either mom or baby becomes unstable, then an immediate c-section is probably necessary. References: 1.
