Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. You may have:
IV Treatments
Fluids may be given by IV to replace lost fluids.
Blood transfusions
may also be given to replace lost blood supply.
You and your fetus will be carefully monitored for signs of distress or
shock.
Emergency Cesarean Delivery
If you or your fetus are in danger, an emergency
cesarean section
will be done. If you and your fetus are at low risk of problems and your fetus is full-term, then you may
deliver vaginally.
