Sch group (Subchorionic Hematoma)

[wantingagirl]

Do you think the pic I posted of it is anything to be worried about?

To me that looks small, and probably not problematic. I don't think bed rest is needed unless you're really bleeding badly and possibly having clots come out too. Can you be referred to a specialist to get a 2nd opinion on you sch?

I'm so glad I found this group. It's good to read all the positive stories.

I had a large bleed at 7+2, and was told that it was a miscarriage. I had a scan the following week, which had already been scheduled due to another issue, and she found a blood clot but no active bleeding. We also saw bean, which came as a huge shock.
I had another really large bleed at 8+4 (with a sizeable clot).
Since then, I've been spotting brown (sorry TMI....with stringy brown clots) pretty much on a daily basis.

Funnily enough, the consultant who did my last scan didn't actually tell me it was an SCH. I requested a copy of the report, which was sent home, and that's where it's listed.

I'm 9+6 today. I have another scan on Tuesday, and have my fingers crossed.
The uncertainty is terrible, waiting to see if you start bleeding again. I'm just taking it one day at a time.

Sending good wishes to everyone.

I hope your scan goes well We were also told to expect a complete miscarriage . Baby is doing well though

I'm so glad I found this group!

A few days ago at 12w 5d I went to the bathroom and when I wiped saw a brownish discharge. No big deal I thought, it's brown so it's old. The next time I went it was pink so I called my Dr and the nurse told me to keep an eye on it and let them know if it got heavier or turned red. Well next time I went it was red and there were droplets in the toilet bowl. So I went in to the doc. They got me in for an ultrasound and everything looked fine with the baby. The tech did find a small bleed and the next day the doc called and said it was a small sch and put me on pelvic rest for two weeks.

This morning I woke up to feel liquid rolling off of me. It wasn't a lot a lot but it's more discharge or spotting than I have had this pregnancy. When I reached down to check and see if it was blood, my hand came back clear and it was odorless. I went to the bathroom and had some blood when i wipe but no more than previously. I'm laying on my left side right now and the liquid seems to have stopped. Anyone know I'd this is discharge, something to do with sch, or something more concerning?

Thanks ❤

Vierasky - Sorry you've been diagnosed with an SCH. I feel your pain.
I'm 13 weeks tomorrow, and have had three massive bleeds so far. I had clear/brownish fluid on a few occassions after my second and third bleeds. My first concern was amniotic fluid, but no problems there.
It could be plasma from the clot, but I think it's worth ringing your midwife for reassurance.

Pixie - I hope all is well.

I had a scan on Wednesday. Bean is fine, thankfully. I still have a clot inside, though it is a bit smaller than on my last scan. I'm desperately hoping that I don't have any more bleeding episodes.

I'd like to ask a question about monitoring, please. So far, I've had scans every 1-2 weeks. At my 12 week scan this week, I was told that the next scheduled scan would be at 20 weeks. They apparently don't routinely monitor SCHs, and wouldn't scan me again unless I have another big bleed. What is everyone else's experience WRT monitoring?

I talked to the on call doc because it was on the weekend. She said that it was normal. I went in on Tuesday because I'd already had an appt scheduled and baby's heartbeat was nice and strong on the doppler. I haven't had a bleed since

 

[nordicpixie83]

Hey , we're still doing well . So close to V-day (viability) , yet feels so far . I've had no further bleeding and my scans look good so far. Hoping it continues to go well and baby stays put for at least another 10 weeks .

 

[VieraSky]

Is it better to bleed or not to bleed?

 

[nordicpixie83]

Is it better to bleed or not to bleed?

SCH can bleed out or absorb. Either way it's better than it staying put. Saying that some ladies have full successful pregnancies with a SCH .

 

[VieraSky]

I'm just curious because I don't have a scan until Dec 18 and I haven't had a bleed in 8 days now.

 

[Agcam]

I think it's quite variable, Viera.
It seems that in some cases, the clot can reabsorb, and then you won't have any spotting.
I'm tending to have big bleeds, and then in between a lot of (sorry, TMI) brown spotting/stuff coming out. I believe that brown is better than fresh blood, because this means that the clot is working its way out.

I don't have another scan till the 27th of December. It's too far away!

 

[VieraSky]

Yeah, brown blood is old blood.

Hi, today I had an early scan as I had some pink on wiping and freaked out so they brought my scan forward from tuesday next week. I thought I was maybe just being a drama queen as Im a bit sensitive after a mc earlier this year.
Anyway, scan showed a 6week sized baby with a heartbeat.....I should be around 7weeks 3days.
And a haematoma.....which to me looks huge! Behind the sac. Ive had no blood spotting and no more pink. But Im sick with worry. Ive to go back on Tuesday for another scan. Devistated and scared as i dont know what to expect xxx

Hey sweetie how did you get on xxxxxx

 

[BabyBrain80]

Not good. They weren't even bothered about the haematoma because they are too concerned about baby's growth.
It's hardly grown in the 6 days between scans, less than it should have and we were already measuring over a week smaller. It went from something like 2.8 mm -3.3 mm. I should have been 8weeks2days so it's maybe 2weeks behind now?

Anyway, heart rate is too slow also. So not looking good at all. Xx

 

[BabyBrain80]

Just an update: went for another scan 3 days ago, no heart beat. Decided to wait for things to happen naturally and I passed my little tiny the next morning.

I'm so sorry.
