Subchorionic hematoma

[mama2047]

I’m currently nearly 9 weeks pregnant and I was diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma sized 24x10mm. I’ve had light spotting here and there. Has anyone else had a SCH of similar size? Any advice?

I had a 7cm hematoma from when I found out I was pregnant. I did have quite heavy bleeding and pain in the earlier weeks. I’m now 17 weeks and haven’t bled for around a month and it’s shrunk to 3cm. I’m still cautious but it’s stable so they don’t seem concerned.
hopefully you’ll stop bleeding soon but best to get it checked if you’re worried. They couldn’t really do anything but did say the bleeding means it’s draining and the only other way it can go is if it’s reabsorbed by the body (why mine has now shrunk). I think as long as no severe pain (although I did have severe pain with a lot of bleeding once and went to hospital) with heavy bleeding with clots/tissue, it’s ok.
I know it’s worrying though so always best to call them for advice if you’re ever really concerned x

I had one. Had quite a few bleeds but all was well and was scanned every time.

I had a subchorionic haematoma diagnosed at 12 weeks when I had a huge , sudden bleed which I thought was a miscarriage.

Even though I was told I didn't need bed rest, I definitely did rest much more than my other pregnancies. I also stopped going swimming and sex which was really, really difficult for me.

I never had another bleed and eventually it was all reabsorbed. By about 25 weeks I think.

My pregnancy went full term and she's currently an 18 year old PITA.

I had one. I was on bed rest and pelvic rest. i bleed until 18 weeks.

I had one that grew up to 66mm×70ishmm. Had a big bleed then a few little bleeds. It was very scary at the time but baby was happy during scans and monitoring. She is now a wild and crazy 2year old. I went on light duties at work, no lifting, slow walking and no sex. All was well in the end.

Hey I had one discovered at 9+4 due to a fairly heavy bleed after sex. They weren’t too worried and I had another scan on Thursday (11+1) as part of a NIPT and it had disappeared, the doctor thought reabsorbed. He was fetal medicine specialist and describes them as really common and a ‘non event’ didn’t feel like that at the time but thought was reassuring to hear. Hope you are ok and all works out ok

I had this with my first pregnancy. It's 20 years ago now so I can't remember how big it was, only that it was bigger than the baby.
I had spotting on and off but was being monitored regularly (IVF pregnancy). And then at around 13 weeks I had a sudden, very dramatic bleed which led to being rushed to hospital (it happened in a major railway station). I couldn't believe it, but the baby was fine. I only had spotting after that. I ended up having to rest for a bit because I was so anaemic from the bleed, but otherwise the baby and I were both absolutely fine. She's a medical student now.
I'm never sure if this is a helpful story or not (I hope it is) - it was absolutely terrifying, and I don't want to scare anyone, but I would not have believed that that could happen and the baby would be OK, but the hospital didn't seem to think it was particularly exceptional.
Wishing you all the very best with it.
