How many months can a pregnancy be maintained in a bicornuate uterus?

I have a bicornuate uterus and am currently five months pregnant. I’m being extremely cautious to maintain the pregnancy. Could you please tell me how far into the pregnancy a woman with a bicornuate uterus can typically carry to term?

For women with a bicornuate uterus, the duration of pregnancy maintenance depends on individual circumstances and fetal condition, with the goal of sustaining the pregnancy to term whenever possible. During pregnancy, these women should rest in bed as much as possible and avoid physical activity, as a bicornuate uterus lacks the optimal uterine tone of a normal uterus. Pregnant women with a bicornuate uterus require special care: they must attend regular prenatal check-ups at the hospital, monitor for uterine contractions, undergo routine fetal heart rate monitoring, and take precautions against fetal hypoxia.
