Things are most definitely not going south due to a SCH. I have one as well. Most hematomas resolve themselves and women go on to have normal healthy pregnancies. There are cases where the hematoma does not resolve and continues to get larger, but since they said yours was small, you are most likely fine. Just take it easy.
I was told the same at my u/s yesterday. The doctor wasn't concerned at all, only said to call if any spotting happened. I'm going to follow her lead and not invite worry on this one. Also, I've had several friends who had them and all turned out well.
Awaiting our bundle of cute chaos.

I had an u/s at 6w 4d because of cramping and spotting and was diagnosed with a SCH. Had to be put on bed rest for a week and it scared the life out of me, but a week later they did another u/s and couldn't even find the hematoma! Your body is excellent at taking care of these things all by itself. Stay positive!
I had one with my mc. Don't lift anything heavy, just take it easy. They normally reabsorb and go away, just make sure you contact the OB if you notice any changes, bleeding, etc.
