Good morning Megan,
I had spotting and bleeding from 5.5 to ~9 weeks of my current PG. One of my (many) scans showed a subchorionic haemorrhage, which I'm guessing is basically the same thing that you have. I was advised to just rest & take it easy (mimise walking/standing/lifting/bending and no DTD) - note that I wasn't on full bed rest, just very much encouraged to live on the sofa for a bit! I do catch the train to work, and they advised me not to do that.
A later scan showed that the subch hm had disappeared on it's own. I don't know how much the rest contributed, but i feel like it was the right thing for me to do (and obviously my PG is still going well, cos i'm now 23 weeks). I've heard that the subch hm's can stay around for longer, and would just be monitored if so - obviously taking into account the amount of spotting/bleeding.
I know how scary it is to go through this, so sending you a big. If I was you, I'd ask the question about rest. I've read different schools of thought on whether rest makes a difference with spotting/bleeding of unknown origin versus subch hm. Some ppl say there's no point resting with unknown spotting, but the literature around subch hm seemed to suggest that it's more recommended.
Great that bubs looked fine with a healthy heartbeat!! And take heart from the fact others have had this and gone on to have healthy bubba's. All the best.
