Subchorionic hemorrhage 8w3d- anyone else?

On New Year's Eve I woke up feeling like when my water broke with my older DD, and when I got up blood poured everywhere. I soaked through two pads an hour for two hours, and had terrible cramping. I thought for sure I had miscarried and was devastated, but when I went into my on the next morning they found my LO on the US, looking good with a heart rate of 167. After bursting out crying, I heard the tech say "subchorionic hemorrhage." I was so relieved, but the dr I saw was not very optimistic, and suggested I still have a 50% chance of miscarrying.

After doing a ton of research and joining an online support group, I am seeing that this is fairly common, so I thought it would be nice to see if anyone else in our birth club has been diagnosed with this.

My hematoma is 5 cm, which is considered quite large (it's all in comparison to the baby), and I've been on bedrest since New Years hoping the bleed will heal.

Anyone else in this kind of scary club?

    Hi and congratulations on making it to 8 and a half weeks :) I had a subchorionic hematoma with my 2nd, I never bled but because of its large size, the doctor was quite pessimistic. He prescribed progesterone suppositories and after taking it easy for about 10 days, my body re absorbed the hematoma (and the baby is now two years old).

    This is my 5th pregnancy (two losses, two live births), and once again I had a large hematoma at 7 weeks, it seems to have disappeared at 7.5 weeks after again starting progesterone suppositories (fx it doesn't reappear!) Oddly enough, with my two losses, I did not have the hematomas...

    I hope this helps and good luck!

    I had this with my little girl. Woke at 2am in a puddle of blood, rushed to hospital and then felt a pop, I had never seen so much blood! It was literally pumping out of me. I passed out from the high blood loss. Honestly thought I'd of lost my little one, but a scan the following morning showed a happy healthy baby bang on 11.5 weeks as she should of been. They spotted an 11cm hematoma and I continued to bleed until around 20 weeks on and off. All was fine tho and it eventually just absorbed itself. Little bean is now a bouncing 3 year old ;-) xx

    Yay! Baby's still going strong, that's awesome. This is my third pregnancy (1 DD 1 miscarriage before) each pregnancy I have had hematomas (it was not the reason for my miscarriage, baby just stopped growing).

    This pregnancy I've had one every time we have gone for a sono, mine is fairly small but it's there.

    When pregnant with DD I had one that was larger and caused a lot of spotting. I was put on pelvic rest and low activity they asked for me to keep my feet up as much as possible.

    I say just keep your feet up and relax until your next visit. Stay positive!

    I had this with my first as well and everything turned out okay!

    It can be so scary though which is hard!

    I'm in a very similar situation! I'm 8w 3d today but with TWINS! I started bleeding on Christmas night, at 7w 1d. Went to the ER the next day to get some reassurance. Both babies were doing wonderful, but baby A has a small hematoma around it. The doctor seemed very optimistic based on how small it was. I've been spotting consistently and had a decent bleed on New Year's Eve. No clots or tissue passed so far. I just keep trying to telling myself that it's the hematoma resolving itself. The doctor has placed me on pelvic rest and a modified bed rest because of my past history of loss earlier this year. I have another appt this Thursday, I will be 9 weeks then.

    I wish I had something super positive to tell you, but just know there are others out there going through the same thing so you have support and understanding.

    Any of you ladies out there have experience with SCH's and twins?

    I don't have much experience with SCH, but I hope and pray everything stays stable with your LO.

    I had this with my last child.  After already having two losses, I thought for sure that pregnancy was gone as well. The ER dr was just very basic saying, well there is still a HB there.  But following up with my OB he was pretty frank about the size and dangers of this.  Mine took a while to go away but eventually did and I had an uncomplicated birth.  I hope the same outcome for you.  

    Did they tell you about pelvic rest?  My OB said no sex no lifting and just very light activity (walking etc).

    I just got back from my first ultrasound. I went in because I was having some spotting. They said I have a 1cm CH. The OB seemed very unconcerned and said it was of all the reasons I could have been spotting this is a good one. I have a follow up in 2 weeks to see if it's been absorbed yet. Pelvic rest until then.
