On Labor Day, I noticed blood when I wiped and immediately went to the emergency room. I thought I was a little over 7 weeks but they did an ultrasound and found that I was measuring 6+4. Baby had a healthy heartbeat and a subchorionic hematoma was found. By the time i was told this, my spotting had turned brown. The doctor basically told me that I could bleed with this my entire pregnancy but it won’t harm the baby, so I guess I was somewhat prepared for what was to come.

Fast forward a week later and my blood went from brown back to red and I feel like I’m consistently bleeding like a period every day… I basically spot onto a liner intermittently throughout the day and then see a heavier amount of blood on the toilet paper after I use the restroom. I’m lounging around as much as I possibly can and am drinking a ton of water but doesn’t seem to be helping. I’m reading that people bleed for weeks, but I guess I’m just wondering if your bleeding was more off and on or if it was consistent like mine? How long did it last for you and did it fade away or did it just completely stop one day?

I have no idea unfortunately how big my hematoma is because they didn’t put that information in my discharge paperwork, but I hope by the time I talk with my obgyn in a couple days that they’ll be able to pull up the ultrasound images and tell me.
