Subcorionic Hematoma

NYC1216

I had posted yesterday about having a lot of bleeding.  I went in for an US yesterday and there was a subcorionic hematoma seen at the top of the sac measuring about 2cm.  My RE put me on bedrest for a week to help stop the bleeding and decrease the chance of miscarriage.  Has anyone ever had this?  If so, how long were you on bedrest for?

i bled for 3 weeks with my SCH (diagnosed at 11w6d) and wasn't on bedrest at all.

I was on pelvic rest and out of work for those 3 weeks, and technically still am on pelvic rest, since we're not getting the clearance for any sort of sexual activity unless my u/s comes back clean tomorrow.

I had one that was found at 6w and was there until about 14w.  My RE put me on bedrest but when I was released to my peri (was seeing a peri for other reasons) she took me off of it.  I was probably on bedrest for about a month with my RE. 

After the initial bleeding, which was alot, I spotted brown for a long time.  It was miserable and I worried all of the time.  GL!!

what is the difference between pelvic rest and bedrest?

I had a subchorionic hematoma that was first diagnosed at 6w.  It was about 2cm at that point, but grew to nearly 8x8x5cm by the end of the first tri.  I had tons of bleeding episodes from 5w6d-18w usually lasting weeks at a time.  My RE and my OB never put me on bedrest, but they did restrict my activities: no exercise whatsoever, no lifting, no grocery shopping, no laundry, no cleaning the house, no walking long distances, also pelvic rest.  But I was allowed to go to work like normal as long as I took it easy when I got home.  Hopefully your SCH will clear up soon and not cause you any more worrying!~

Pelvic rest just means no sex, orgasm, etc.

yup, had it.  do not google like I did.  Most go away on their own.  I forget what size mine was but it was small.  It went away at 11wks - diagnosed at 7wks.  I had two bleeding episodes - pink and red - with gushes.

On those bleeding days, I stayed home, drank water and didn't do a damn thing.  I sometimes work from home and I didn't even do that.

I had a SCH later in pregnancy. I never bled and was put on pelvic rest just for a month until I saw the MFM two times. I had the SCH the rest of my pregnancy and it continued to grow. Baby did fine, although I did have a c section to be cautious of her delivery.

I had one at 11 weeks that was HUGE. Looked like it was going to eat the baby. I bled twice in a week, and then spotted for a full month. It didn't fully resolve until 26 weeks. I also had an abnormal placental resistance scan at that point that kept me with the peri until 35 weeks and had me getting NSTs every week from 30 weeks on.

 

I was on modified bedrest (essentially, stay off your feet, but I could have worked if I had a desk job) pretty much the whole time I was bleeding and spotting, and on pelvic rest up until the very end of my pregnancy.
