Blood on ultrasound?

Question

Hey! So I just got my first ultrasound done and she advised me I have blood above my uterus.. She said she sees it more times than not but she really didn't seem to explain why it happens or if I need to be  careful. Here is a picture.. U can see it good in the bottom two

Answer

I've had them with several pregnancies, including this one. It's a pretty obvious one, and she knew you'd probably go online to find out, so I have no idea why she'd tell you about it but not explain it. That's annoying. Anyway, it's a little pocket of blood, they're very very common- they'd be even more common if more women were scanned in early pregnancy. Sometimes they bleed out (not harmful to baby), which can be sudden and frightening, other times you'll have spotting (I always had the consistent spotting), and other times you'll have no symptoms whatsoever. In most cases, they reabsorb before 12 weeks! Mine have always been gone before the second trimester. Because of the positioning of mine, I was put on pelvic rest and told not to lift anything too heavy.

Answer

It's a hematoma. Pretty common in pregnancy and there's no limitations unless otherwise specified by your dr

Answer

The doc who interpreted ours pointed one out to me @ our 1st ultrasound @ 7w2d, she said it was likely leftover from implantation, she was like "I wanted to tell u because if u have any spotting it's likely because of that & I didn't want u to panic, but it may just reabsorb & u won't see anything at all." @ my next ultrasound @ 11w5d the bleed was gone & I never had any spotting.
