Anyone had hematoma?

[cinnamonbun]

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and had a scan earlier this week as I was worried because my pregnancy symptoms had completely disappeared. Anyway, turns out the baby is fine but the sonographer found a hematoma. She was lovely but didn't really give me any information except that it's blood clots and it might resolve itself and I should come back if there's any bleeding. This might be a daft question but if I don't get any bleeding, should I be worried? Does it then mean that the blood clots stay there? Any other advice?

Hi same happened to me at a private scan at 8 weeks, the sonographer casually remarked about 'an area of blood' and then brushed it off when I asked if it was something to be worried about. However at 10 weeks I had some spotting so had to go for an urgent scan at the EPU where I was told that I had a hematoma. Mine was the same size as the baby and I was told to just wait until the next scan to see what happened, I believe it can either come out or be re-absorbed by your body. By the 13 week scan it had completely re-absorbed and I've had no issues since - now 34 weeks

I had one when I had my early scan at 6wks I then had another at 7+2 and it had gone, been reabsorbed back into my body. It seems they can be quite common xx

I had one that caused bleeding between weeks 6 and 12 of my pregnancy. It was discovered via an emergency scan at the EPU, and for a while it was bigger than the baby. The sonographer told me it was probably originally caused by the baby implanting.

Eventually I had a scary clotted bleed, which I think was the hematoma coming away completely. I had another scan at 13+4 and the hematoma had completely resolved. Baby was fine, and I am 22+5 now.

Please try not to worry, the fact you are not bleeding is a very good sign. Try not to Google if you can possibly can, it will probably scare you unnecessarily. Wishing you a happy, healthy and uneventful pregnancy.

I had an absolutely mahoosive one that was discovered after a really heavy bleed (heavier than any period) at about 11 weeks. Had a couple more weeks of bleeding. But brown blood this time.

It was still there, but smaller, at my 20 week scan. So it either slowly reabsorbed without bleeding or just didn't go at all. My son is now a happy and healthy 6 month old.

Never posted before but wanted to share my experience of a subchorionic hematoma (thus far!!)

I started bleeding two weeks ago when I thought I was 6 weeks pregnant... Thought that it was obviously a miscarriage (as have had two previous) but the bleeding was different... It was light for 3 says then stopped and I thought I had had an easy miscarriage but then a week after the initial bleed I had major continuous bleeding filling pads like there was no tomorrow... after 3 days of this I started to feel really faint so took myself to A&E as i thought maybe I need a D&C (Dilation and Curettage) to help the miscarriage along.

They sent me to early pregnancy ward (At this time I was peeing out blood!) and I eventually had a scan where they said that there was a baby with a heartbeat and a very large hematoma blood clot in my womb causing all the bleeding. They said the baby had a strong heartbeat and that I looked around 6-7 weeks.

The advice was to rest up and come back in two weeks for another scan to check on both baby and hematoma.

So its 5 days since the scan and I have on and off heavy bleeding (worse at night) and constant little bleeding but filling pads pretty frequently.

The consultant Gynae is actually a good friend of mine and she said the body will absorb the clot and everything should be fine.

I have two kids already and never experienced any bleeding or anything similar to this with either of them (although they are 8 and 12!!)

Anyway next scan is in 9 says so will update then if not before!
