This is all a case-by-case situation. However, it appears the mom-to-be is experiencing placenta previa where the placenta covers the cervix.

An ultrasound both abdominal and intravaginal ultrasounds to determine the cause of the bleeding and develop their diagnosis.

You'll start an IV on the mom-to-be for fluid replacement and have open access for rapid medication push incase she starts to decline fast. Then, if the baby is far enough within the gestation, they'll usually do a cesarean section to deliver the baby.
