Subchorionic haemorrhage? 8 weeks 5 days....

Question

So as some of you may know I’ve been having spotting and cramping the past week or so. My midwife referred me to the Early pregnancy Unit and I’ve just had a scan- baby is measuring right on track (8 wks 5 days), but they found a subchorionic haemorrhage of 2cm. Anyone know anything about this? I’m so scared it’ll cause a miscarriage 😢
Is 2cm significant- is it large?
Should I avoid gym/heavy lifting? Will that make it worse? What will help it to heal?

Answer

I had one and bled on and off till 21 wks. Very scary but baby was fine the whole time. Was told no sex, light exercise and i don’t remember what else but it all ended well. He’s now a year and healthy as can be. The ER doc called it a threatened miscarriage 🙄 scared me and then my doc reassured me it was ok.

Answer

On my first ultrasound a few days ago, they spotted a SCH. It is 2.8cm. I am 11 weeks, so my guess would be that since yours is 2cm it would be considered small. I think the level of danger it presents also depends on the location of it. My midwife put me on pelvic rest (no sex). I asked about work and exercise and she said that was fine, however, I’m choosing to take the extra precaution and not lift.

Answer

I have one. It measured 2 cm but is outside the gestational sac so my OB is not worried. They are actually pretty common and resolve on their own in most cases. I’ve had 3 ultrasounds so far (I’m currently just shy of 13 weeks) and it has not changed as of my last appointment on 1/31. Here is my last ultrasound pic from 9w6d. The hemorrhage is circled in red.
