Having searched and searched for informtion on a SCH myself and wanted desperately to hear of good news stories I thought I would share our story in the thought that it might give some hope to someone going through what we went through.
At 7 weeks pregnant i started bleeding heavily and as I'd miscarried at 7 weeks previously I assumed the worst. The bleeding started in the middle of the night so I waited until the next day before going to the hospital. To our delight we saw our babies heartbeat and the baby looked perfect but right next to the sac there was a huge black cloud which was diagnosed as an 'extensive' heamatoma. At this point the doctors didn't even measure it as it was so large (later estimations approx 20cm by 20cm). We were given odds of 50/50 of being able to successfully complete the pregnancy.
At this point I was distraught and spent many a sleepless night combing the Internet for treatment, good news stories and learning about the condition. I wasn't prescribed bed rest or any specific course of treatment but I was told avoid anything that would cause me to strain, difficult as like many of you I have a wonderful but energetic toddler at home!
I bleed heavily right up until just before my 20 week scan and as the pregnancy went on the size of the heamatoma decreased - at 13 weeks it was 13cm by 9cm by 6cm, then at 20 weeks it was 7cm by 5cm by 4cm. Each time I bled I expected to loose my baby and it was such a worrying time.
I then stopped bleeding (yay!) and allowed myself for the first time to believe I may have my baby. At 27 weeks I started bleeding again and was rushed into the nearest labour ward as I had regular contractions. I was given steroids for our babies lungs as they believed I was going to have her that day and a scan which showed that she was showing very small for her dates.
Miraculously the contractions (after being regularly a minute and a half apart) slowed and eventually stopped and we were allowed home with a follow up of regular scanning.
After this point I had no more bleeding, however we had the new worry of her being very small. This is apparently common for SCH babies.
I finally had our gorgeous girl, Charlotte Poppy, last week (38 weeks 5 days) and although she is tiny she is absolutely perfect. I know how amazingly lucky we are to have her and my thoughts go out to all those who are suffering now with a SCH or who have had a different outcome to myself.
I wanted to share this story to give people hope, especially as the SCH I had was so very large.
I am going to put our story on the websites that helped me so forgive mr if you come across it more than once.
Good luck ladies and my thoughts are with you xxxx
DH has the day off, which is great because the hospital we're going to is about an hour and a half drive from our place.
So I'm going to take it easy this week and pray that everything turns out well at the scan!
Do you have anything you can take for the pain ( paracetamol is ok when pregnant ) Also try to stay in bed and put legs up to try to stop the bleed some. I found that laying on my side with the pillow inbetween my knees made cramping a bit more tolerable. Some abdominal breathing might help a bit as well. I hope it stops soon and that you get a clear US on Monday with the sch very tiny and if possible gone
