Subchorionic Hemorrhage + Bleeding — looking for advice/encouragement

Hi everyone,

I just got back from the ER and found out I have a large subchorionic hemorrhage. I’m about 6 weeks pregnant and had a really scary episode of heavy bleeding with clots, but the ultrasound showed a heartbeat and the sac looked okay.

The doctors basically told me to rest and keep an eye on things, but I’m still really nervous. To make things worse, I can’t get in to see my OB again before I leave for vacation, so I’m stressed about traveling with this going on.

Has anyone else been through this and had things turn out okay? How long did the bleeding last for you? Did you have to stay on strict bed rest or were you able to still do normal stuff?

I’d love to hear some positive stories or just any advice — feeling pretty anxious right now. ❤️

  • Hi there. I’ve had 3 pregnancies, all with subchronic hemorrhages in the first trimester. First pregnancy went to the ER, they labeled it a threatened miscarriage and told me to take it easy the next few weeks. My daughter is 6 now. My second pregnancy the blood sac unfortunately outgrew the baby and I miscarried. Third pregnancy, also experienced bleeding which slowed down, my baby is 1 now. So there’s always hope especially if you’ve heard that heartbeat. ❤️ Take care of yourself, minimize movement, heavy lifting, intimacy, stress etc in the meanwhile would be my advice. Sending you prayers and lots of love ❤️

  • My last pregnancy I had one in my second trimester, the bleeding lasted a few days-i also was terrified of the what ifs. That is a great sign you heard the heartbeat. I was also told to take it easy as well, and the bleeding eventually stopped and i went on to have a full term pregnancy. After delivery you could see where the bleeding was on my placenta. I get it, it’s so hard not to let your fears and thoughts over run you-hang in there and listen to your body! Praying for you and baby!
