My friend had lots of severe bleeding with clots. But now she had a healthy 2 year boy. Don't worry!
Looking for reassurance
Hello ladies. I am just looking for some positive stories or reassurance as I await my next appointment. Two weeks ago (12/22 at 12 weeks) I woke up to a lot of bleeding and ended up passing a large clot. We rushed to the doctor, baby is perfect, and they told me I have a subamniotic hemorrhage. They said not to worry, take it easy (no heavy lifting, sex, etc) and it would likely resolve it self. The bleeding stopped by the next night and nothing for a week. Then I started having brown spotting on and off since. It’s very minimal and comes and goes randomly. I have my next appointment next Wednesday and they will ultrasound again and see where we are. I’m just trying not to drive myself crazy. I had to see a different doctor since mine was out of town and that makes me nervous. He didn’t seem to think the clot was a big deal. And it was big. One thing I love about my doctor is that she doesn’t sugar coat. She’s positive and upbeat but always gives it to me straight (I had preeclampsia with my daughter and that was a rough road). Maybe I’m overthinking this..but I just can’t help but feel like there’s something I’m missing 😔
I’m sorry for the long post. Just looking for some reassurance or similar stories. Thank you ♥️

I'm in a similar situation. SCH at 10 weeks, additional bleeding and spotting since then. Scan at 10 weeks and again at 13 weeks and babies look good. The SCH is smaller, but still there so I'm still on pelvic rest until the 20 weeks scan, but the doctor is optimistic! She said spotting could continue until the blood either passes or is absorbed back into my body.

Prayers for you! I’m just curious how soon this will resolve since I bled so bad at first and passed that clot. And the actual bleeding stopped the next day. No spotting since yesterday afternoon. It just gets frustrating because it’ll stop then start back. It’s light and only brown spotting though. Really hoping it’s done for good this time! I’m ready to hear the doctor say it is resolved and it’s not an issue anymore!! I hope you get a good report at your 20 week!
I’ve never experienced this but based on your hemorrhaging and seeing that the baby was perfect I wouldn’t be too stressedThink of it this way that blood clot was from a hemorrhoid If it was something else I’m sure they woulda seen and told youThe brown blood could possibly just be old blood and maybe it’s going away ( kinda like when we get our periods and the ending of it becomes brown like)I know I haven’t had this before but I know how stressful it can be when ur pregnant and ur over thinking and thinking of the worse If the different doctor didn’t seem worried I would just try to keep busy and not stress till ur next appt! Everything will be fine! ❤️

Thank you for your reply! I’m trying to stay optimistic. I just want this to be resolved. I want to know my baby is not at risk. I want to do housework and not worry that I’m over doing it. And I really miss sex with my husband 🫣 obviously it’s worth it to know I’m doing what’s best for baby and my body and hubby 100% agrees. But these second trimester hormones are something else 😂
