Hematoma

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!
