Huge bleed today

lindsayfairlamb · March 2017

So I was standing at work today and felt a gush. I went to the bathroom, thinking it was progesterone, but it was blood. Filled a panty liner, and then some. Put another liner in to get home, and that one was filled about an hour later. I called my RE's office and they told me to go on bed rest today and to come in tomorrow at 8:45 for an ultrasound. I'm 7w2d today. The bleeding has pretty much stopped, but I have had some mild cramping off and on. I'm fearing the worst but hoping for the best. Anyone have any experience with something like this?

Sounds like it could be a subchorionic hemorrhage. There was a post about this earlier this week that's worth checking out. Good luck.

Hope everything is okay. Good luck at your appointment tomorrow.

Did they ever tell you you had a subchorionic hemorrhage? My RE told me I had one before I graduated to obgyn. I am 10.5 weeks and I had my second huge bleed today of the week. On Sunday I went to the ER with heavy bleeding. Prior to that I had no bleeding at all. ER doc did a pelvic and u/s and all looked good. I followed up with obgyn yesterday and she told me baby looked fine. And then this morning I felt a gush again and it was another big bleed. I went to the obgyn and baby is fine and heart is still beating but this sucks and I hate it. Did you ever establish heartbeat before? To me this sounds like sch. There is a thread on this and there are others in this group that have one. Hang in there and keep us posted on what happens tomorrow. I know it's not easy. I am still bleeding from my big bleed this AM but it has subsided.

Something similar happened to me twice, at 6w6d and 9w1d. Neither time I had cramping, but a big gush of blood. After the gush I spotted a little until it stopped a few hours later. Both times I was sent for an ultrasound and saw the baby and heartbeat, but nothing else unusual. The second time they gave me a Rhogam shot because I have a negative blood type. It's been over 2 weeks and it hasn't happened again.

I had to wait a weekend for my first ultrasound, so I know how you feel. It was incredibly scary, and I hope you have good news tomorrow morning. I will be thinking about you!

Thanks so much, ladies. I had two sch's with my first DS, eight years ago, but they never caused me to bleed. I had my first ultrasound last Thursday where we saw a heartbeat, but it was on the lower end of normal. No one said anything about an sch last week, but I know they can develop. I've had some minor cramping off and on today, but I still have all of my pregnancy symptoms. Ugh. The waiting is so hard.

I'm hoping that it's just something that won't cause baby any harm! Sending you hugs and kisses and lots of prayers!

Thinking about you today! Hope you get good news!

I agree with other posters that it sounds like an SCH. Sending positive vibes your way!

Sending positive thoughts your way. I hope everything is well with baby.

Huge thanks to you all! The bleeding is from an SCH. Baby looks good, measuring in at 7+2 (one day behind) and heart rate is strong at 137. The SCH is a decent size so I'm on bed rest through Sunday and then pelvic rest indefinitely. Here's hoping it starts to shrink!

PizzaMonster3 · March 2017

@lindsayfairlamb so happy to hear baby is doing well!!

jessafishy · March 2017

@lindsayfairlamb So glad you got good news about the baby and I hope the SCH shrinks quickly!

VLillyV · March 2017

That's relieving news. I am sorry to hear that the sch is causing such a stink, but I really hope that with some rest it will shrink and you won't go through this nightmare again!
