Hello dear thanks for trusting health care magic.
This condition needs very good monitoring throughout pregnancy because of high risk of torrential bleeding and thus grave consequences for both mother and baby.
Avoid straining at stools, avoid sex u all contact with husband, because rest as much as possible and no heavy work at all.
Delivery will be by cesarean section most probably.
