How To Handle A Uterine Fibroid During Pregnancy Without Harming The Fetus?

I am 21 weeks pregnant with a 6cm fibroid placed directly underneath my placenta. The placenta is currently larger than the fibroid. Baby s weight is 1lb 1oz and is healthy. My question is...what exactly are my chances of losing the baby? If I have an abruption can the baby be saved? And is there anything I can be doing to prevent this from happening?
