Subchorionic hematoma? Anyone have experiences to share?

**jo7** · 23-05-2012 09:23

I have one

they saw it at my 6 wk scan, 2 weeks later I was told it looked like it was resolving itself.. Then at 11 weeks I had 5 days of bleeding, but no bleeding since.

I had my NT scan yesterday at 13+2. They said the hematoma was still there, measuring 4.5x0.8x5.2cm. Is that big? Is sounds big to me

I'm trying not to stress too much but finding it difficult, as I'm a worrier by nature. Anyone got any positive experiences to share?

I had a similar sized one last pregnancy. I had bleeding on and off till 17 weeks. At my 19 week scan it had resolved ! Easier said than done but try not to worry

take it easy, no heavy lifting and get any and all bleeding checked out ASAP

I had one last pregnancy and found out last week i have another. with the first one i had a huge gush at 13 weeks and thought for sure i had lost bubs, but she was perfect. My hemotoma did absorb until 32 weeks. Take it easy as the bleeding can start when you over do things.

I had what they classed a large one this pregnancy, it stressed me to no end. I took it very easy and didn't lift a thing even though I was told to carry on as normal as there is nothing I could do. I never had any bleeding and was ask time after time if I was still bleeding they couldn't believe I had not even a drop of blood. Its very common to bleed with them but it doesn't necessarily mean you are miscarrying. Mine resolved itself by my 20 week scan,(was still there at 12 weeks) but they say they can stay there for longer than that.

Good luck.

Hi Jo
I have had them with 2 of my pregnancies as well. My first one abosrbed within weeks and there was no bleeding. My 2nd one I had a big gush of blood at 6 weeks (huge gush!!!) and spotting on and off till about 14 weeks. This one didnt absorb until around 20 weeks. And they were both about the same size as yours (a little bigger).
Just like the other girls everything turned out well. Good advice to take it easy and no lifting or doing too much

Thanks everyone.. I was worried about the size of mine coz I have nothing to compare it to, didn't know if it was considered large or not..

I started bleeding again today, with some small clots as well. My OB told me to expect that but it's still upsetting to see...

Will try to stay positive!
