Subchorionic hematoma

Hi everyone, I had a first scan today and was happy to see the baby is well, strong heartbeat, yolk sac, but outside of the gestational sac there is what the sonogpraher called "a small bleeding" he said it isn't a threat to the baby but I should mention this on my next scan. He asked about bleeding or spotting but I had none. I am now 8 weeks 4 days. He said it might absorb or come out as brown discharge. I googled šŸ™ˆ and everywhere it says black scenarios.. That it can cause a miscarriage and women should be on a bed rest, no exercise, no sex etc. I am all worried and so disheartened! I am seeing my OB-GYN in 11 days. Anyone with an immediate (I pray positive experience) or advice? All symptoms I have re this are cramps but that feels like bloating cramps or at times like period cramps. Thank you🄺🄺

I had one of these detected too but have carried on as normal! Symptoms still strong and am starting to show so hoping/assuming all ok. X

how far along were you when they found out and how far now? 🩷 Were you advised to rest or some precautions? I'm just not sure how shall I proceed and what can I do to help this go away.

I was 8+2 then. No wasn’t told to rest of anything. The sonographer wasn’t really concerned about it just said they will just double check it on the 12 week scan.

OK, thank you. Best approach will be to keep calm and positive then šŸ¤žšŸ¼

Thank you! I will keep an eye on everything and good to know there is EPU to reach out to if needed. Great your daughter was safe and sound 😊🄰

I’ve not had one but my friend did. It was picked up as she had bleeding, they initially thought she was ectopic and were going to terminate but turned out to be a hematoma. She was fine and her body just absorbed it in a few weeks.

I had a scan last week and I was told I have the same thing, he asked me if I’m bleeding but I’ve had none. He told me to see the GP but I don’t think there is much they can do so going to wait it out and see what happened. I know a few people who have had these and gone on to have healthy babies :)

Thank you, that's really reassuring. So true with the GP! At least from my experience they are useless. Fingers crossed all is well for both of us, all of us!

I have one right now and doctor said it was normal and not to worry about it

When I went for a scan at 6 weeks I was told I had one and not too worry about it as it can be common in early pregnancy, I have my 12 week scan on Thursday so can find out if it’s gone! I haven’t had any symptoms with it x

Thank you. Fingers crossed all is good with you and would be very grateful if you could share after the visit.
I actually told my boss today I am pregnant and about the hematoma and she said she had the exact thing with her son (who's now a healthy happy 6yo 😊)

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient šŸ˜‚šŸ„²

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
