Hey Lesh,

COngrats on your scan and little bubby . I wouldn't worry too much about your subchorionic bleed. Lots of women have them with no problems whatsoever. Sometimes they don't even bleed enough for the blood to come "out" IYKWIM. My friend had a pretty big one at book-in (11wks pg, bleed measured 4cm by 2.5cm), which was totally gone by her 20wk scan, and aside from a tiny bit of spotting in wks 6 and 9 (which she'd already had by the scan) it caused zero problems, except the docs kept a closer eye on her and it was her 1st bub and she was very nervous so that was actually a good thing for her.

It can be a sign of problems but i think it's one of those things we'd not know about without ultrasound and knowing isn't usually that helpful. For instance i had a large corpeus luteum cyst at booking in (my right ovary was bigger than my uterus at 11wks PG!!) and the doctors made all sorts of noises about me not being able to deliver vaginally as it's be "in the way" for birth. Of course i had no problems, fast and easy delivery with only gas, everything fine. If they hadn't scanned they'd never have known and i wouldn't have worried....
