SCH stories ANYONE ? let’s give hope to mothers dealing with it !

Question

Is There any women dealing with SCH . Or have stories about their SCH to give mothers some reassurance or hope as the wait up to their 12 weeks check up then  20 weeks check up ??
(Subchorionic hemorrhage)

Answer

I had a horrible one that started around 5 weeks. The doctor put me on pelvic rest and kept scheduling me for appointments. The blood would range from pink to brown to red. I had a huge amount of bleeding at around 8 weeks (worse than a heavy period, huge clot fell in the toilet that was like 1/3 the size of my palm). I immediately went to the ER when I passed the clot because my boyfriend and I were thinking I miscarried. But the baby was in there, heart beating away. I quit my job serving at a restaurant because the bleeding seemed to always get worse when I was working. The spotting/bleeding continued until maybe 12 weeks and then stopped. Now I’m 14 weeks 5 days, and they are still scheduling me for extra appointments to check everything since I bled so much. But no more spotting. I had just been trying to take it easy and rest, they say there’s nothing that can really be done, but at 10 weeks with a fetal heartbeat, the chance of miscarriage is only 10-15 percent is what my doc told me. Heartbeat is a really good thing. Prayers to you! I know how scary it is!

Answer

Yep I think they are pretty common (but still scary). I had one from week 8 and had a lot of heavy bleeding. I rested up as much as possible and took progesterone pessaries twice a day. I actually developed a second hematoma around 12 weeks. At my 19 week scan they were both gone. We are now 22 weeks and doing well 😊
