I'm just wondering how common this is? And what the healthy delivery/baby success rate was?
About me: 25 years old and currently 8 weeks 1 day pregnant with baby number 3. I have a 4yo and an 8yo.
We spent all day yesterday in the ER for some light bleeding/spotting and cramping I've been experiencing for the last week. After lots of blood work, urine tests and an US we were told that the bleeding I've been experiencing was due to what is called a Subchrionic Hemmotoma/Hemorrhage. This being my third pregnancy and something I've NEVER heard of, am I obviously freaking out. So I'm looking to hear about other mommies experiences and stories who have also gone through/are going through this in their pregnancy.
I have the same thing...i went to the ER on the first of this month and they said i had one im 9 weeks right now, i have only had very ligth spotting and the dr couldnt tell if it was getting bigger or smaller...my DR apt with my OB is wednesday..so im hoping everything is fine. This is my first pregnancy
Quoting krazymami028:
I had one at 6 weeks. I'm now 26 weeks

Did yours clear up on its own?

Very common. I had one with my second, and a bigger one with my third. Both cleared up on their own, my daughter was perfectly healthy, and I'm 22 weeks now. Both cleared up by my 12/13 week USs.

This gives me some more reassurance. Thank you! :)
I had one that started bleeding quite a bit at 7 weeks, it was small (but seriously bled as much as a period) and everything I read said with a small SCH the chances of miscarriage were 1-2%. It is the most common finding when doing an ultrasound for bleeding. I bled for several days but am now 15w5d and haven't had any bleeding since about 8 weeks.
But the bleeding stopped on its own, due to the weight of the growing fetus, the hemorage just collasped, the docter said. It was the scariest thing to ever happen to me, I know how you feel, but everything will be okay! Try and not stress b/c that makes the bleeding worsen, I was also on pelvic rest during my bleeding and on light duty and no lifting at work.
My docter told me that I could also hemorrage again, closer to my due date.
