Hi lovebug2011,
It will depend on how much separation is taking place. Did your doctor suggest for you to be on bedrest or limit your activities?
Some women will experience a slight separation, it heals, and the pregnancy continues. At other times it can be a significant separation and the pregnancy is unfortunately lost. Certainly let them know if you experience anymore bleeding with or without cramping.

They just limited my activities for now I have another ultrasound on the 7th so hopefully ill get better answers then. This is my 3rd pregnancy and the first one I've had problems with. Is there something I've been doing wrong? And I love caffeine and have cut back a lot will the little bit I've been drinking be OK or should I quit all together? Now I haven't been bleeding just a lot of brown discharge.

I'm so glad to read that everything is looking good!
I went through it at 32w which is why my daughter was premature (but very healthy). I'm sure your doctor will keep a close watch on you through the rest of the pregnancy. I hope all continues to go well. :)
