Subchorionic hematoma?

Question

Hey guys, this is my 4th pregnancy but only one living child. I went to the e.r. at 5 weeks exactly for spotting they found a large hematoma on the scan and basically just told me it could go either way...
Then I had a scan at my o.b office at 7 weeks and my baby is growing and heart rate was 122 but she also was very clinical in her answers so I guess I'm just looking for advice and what your experience was if any of you have gone through this.

Answer

I had a large one with my daughter and she just turned one I have one this pregnancy also but baby is looking good. Advise take it very very easy nothing in the vagina no tampon or penis or fingers or water. No baths until 2 weeks after bleeding has stopped dont lift anything over 12lbs and no exercise. And no caffine try to avoid anything that raises your heartrate  cuz a faster heart beat the quicker it can bleed if its still bleeding I would call and request another us in a week to see if its growing or shrinking or what good luck mama.

Answer

I’ve had one with every pregnancy. And I am on my 3rd right now. Yep! I have another one but it’s small this time. With my oldest boy I had a large one that didn’t go away until I was close to 14 weeks and with my youngest(for now) I had a small one that went away in a couple weeks. They normally dissolve on their own or depending on your placenta location may bleed out some.

Answer

I just went in for a 6 week 2 day scan and started bleeding heavily in the exam room while waiting for the doctor (the irony!). He said my ultrasound looks normal and good but he couldn’t find the reason for the bleeding- he said sometimes those hematomas don’t show on a scan until later. But he did say that if it was a hematoma it would be totally normal and okay so long as the baby looks good. So I think keep up your spirits with your positive ultrasounds and try not to stress! At least thats what I’m trying to prescribe to myself :)
