Subchorionic Hemotoma in early pregnancy

Hi Everyone,

I am onto my 4th pregnancy in 12 months and after a bleed on Monday have been told by ultrasound that I have a large subchorionic hematoma in my uterus. I have just been told to rest and come back in a week. I have a 2.5 year old daughter already but this is my 4th pregnancy after suffering 3 miscarriages (mostly due to low progesterone which has been treated through a fert clinic). I am beside myself with worry and don't know what to do how to feel. I am a little over 6 weeks and got a heartbeat on the scan Monday and the bleeding did stop that day, now just a little tinge of brown discharge every now and then. Every cramp though I panic now as I now don't know whats normal and whats not. Has anyone had one of these and come out the other side successfully? I'm so worried.

No advice, but couldn't read and not send massive squishy hugs.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

Yes. I bled quite a lot throughout my DD's pg.

She is now an annoying (but loveable) preteen.

Good luck!

Hi Nothing2lose - oh really thank you that gives me some hope at least. Was yours big do you remember? All I've read is the bigger they are the higher the risk of miscarrying and she said mine was large (I think she said 3cm).

And thanks Charlotte - I need all the squishy hugs I can get at the moment, I just can't win lately!

I had bleeds through both DDs' pregnancies - DD1 on and off from 7 to 12 weeks and DD2 at 8 weeks. I had a massive bleed with this pregnancy at 16.5 weeks that had bright red blood for three days with fist sized clots. I was in Hong Kong at the time and absolutely convinced there could be no way I wasn't miscarrying given both the amount of blood and size of the clots. I was put on bedrest after that bleed and like you've said, not easy when you have active little ones to look after, but you really need to take it as easy as you can - for your mental health if nothing else. Your DD will come to no harm at all if she has an overdose of tv and DVDs over the next few days while you keep your feet up. Do you have people around who can help you out? Let me know if I can do anything for you at all - happy to come and sit on your lounge room floor and entertain your daughter while you have a rest.

Got everything crossed for you. Take care.

I had one at 8 weeks with DD. It resolved itself and she is now a healthy 3 year old. Take care.

I had one from 6 weeks of pregnancy with DD (pregnancy #4, child #2). It was discovered via ultrasound after some bleeding whilst we were on our honeymoon.

I bled out around 8/9 weeks..... more blood than I've seen in my life, but DD turns 3 this Sunday. There were no harmful affects to her or myself and once it bled out that was pretty much it apart from some spotting for the next 2-3 weeks.


There are quite a few threads on here, many that I have put detailed replies in along with other ladies. Just search for those if you'd like to find out more. :)

Good luck!

Oh Lulu you are just too sweet, how are you? I can't believe I'm here again with bad news, I just want to post something positive for a change! Thank you for your amazing offer, I have 2 older sisters who live around the corner so they have been helping me out a lot but I really really appreciate such a kind offer xxxx

Thanks hipmummy, I love hearing success stories, the fert clinic are pretty good at making me feel doomed so it's nice to hear some good things for a change. xx

Just wanting to send you some big :hug:

Not sure of the details, but I know with me and my sisters, Mum bled every month just like she was getting AF. My sisters technically turned out ok, though I personally disagree. I on the other hand turned out perfect ;)

Hi there

Just wanted to let you know that I had the same at around 7 weeks and it continued for two weeks. It was on the third ultrasound that they were able to pick up on the hematoma. My neighbor also had the same a few weeks after. It's surprising how often this happens. I for one wish I knew when I started bleeding, my first thought was instantly....I lost my baby.

Hugs to you x .
