Subchorionic Haemorrage/Haematoma

[Nikki87]

Help! I had a scan at 5 weeks 1 day because of bleeding and the sonographer found a subchorionic haemorrage. Had another scan today at 6 weeks 4 day and baby was on track with heartrate of 122bpm. However the haemorrage now looks to be twice the size anyone had this and what has the outcome been? I am seeing doc on Thurs but cant wait that long for reassurance!!

Hi Nikki
In most cases your body will reabsorb the blood or encapsulate it. You will then go on to have a normal birth. I would expect your doctor to want to keep a close eye on you during your pregnancy

Hi Nikki,

They found one at my 1st scan at 7 weeks and I never had any problems with it. My pregnancy and birth weren't effected at all!

All the best

Hi Nikki (nice name )
I've had a SH. Here is a thread I have replied in with my story (page 3 or 4 I think)https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-hematoma.html

I ended up bleeding out the haematoma, and went on to have a normal pregnancy, a wonderful VB and a beautiful healthy daughter.
All the best!

Thanks for the replies ladies. Its good to hear that you have had good outcomes!!

Thanks Alan for your reply, its good to hear another professionals opinion on the matter.

Does anyone know why it would be getting bigger though? And so much more in 10 days? Its worrying me that it will keep getting bigger and bigger

Hey Nikki,
I had an SCH with my last pregnancy too. I was told to rest up - I did get spotting and full on bright red bleeding with it, but then the SCH went away and the PG progressed fine. From what I remember reading, rest up and take it easy to help it heal up - and ask the doc obviously too. Put it this way, resting up ain't gonna hurt it. GL with it, I know how stressful and scary it is, and make sure they monitor it for your peace of mind.
