Hi just to update, we had a look at baby today and all looks perfect. There is no sign of a bleed now and they think it was the 2nd sac basically leaving the body, in other words miscarrying the twin that didnt make it. We knew from the get go that the 2nd twin didnt make it so it's been a relief to know that was the bleed and nothing more serious and baby is actually safe.
I feel so much relief right now x

I think the bleed is under your placenta like mine was.......but this is not all bad news. It is much smaller than your baby by the looks of it on the scan. Not sure where your placenta is relating to the outside as that is mainly determined by which way up you are holding the ultrasound probe during scanning and I only do limited stuff for trauma and cardiac, no obstetrics. My guess is that your placenta is posterior, which is the least likely to be involved in any complications. I could be wrong though!
It’s good to be bleeding in a way, as it means the haematoma is finding it’s way out rather than being trapped and getting bigger and stripping off more placenta.
I bled first at around 6 weeks a bit and then had a terrifying large bleed at 11 weeks resulting in scrubbing red footprints off the carpet. I didn’t stop bleeding at any point till about 18-20 weeks, with one other fairly large bleed at I think about 13 weeks, and am now being kept awake by a pea shoot doing some kind of sprint cycling practice in my tummy at almost 35 weeks. I passed clots for weeks, bled every colour you can think of and thought it would never stop!
Try and stay positive, rest up, keep hydrated, no lifting anything heavy etc. Likely the medical folk will be totally uninterested as there is nothing that they can do to change the course of events. The medical literature proves nothing except to tell us that bigger haematoma compared to baby size as a % is higher risk (>50% baby size), and that second trimester haematoma are more risky (yours is a first trimester so much better). The only eventual significant increased risks providing things go well is of pre term labour which increases by 1% or so from 1-2ish % and a similarly small increase in risk of post partum haemorrhage. Most of the SCH resolve by themselves by start of third trimester. Mine was massive (much bigger than 50% of baby size on my second scan in early second trimester) and growing at that point) and took a bit longer, but finally absent by the 32 week scan.
Keep your chin up and make it past the first hurdle of 12 weeks!

Pleased to say that after my large SCH and all that went with it today I delivered a lovely healthy baby girl Lowri Haf, 10lb 8oz by semi elective Caesarian after failed induction at 39+6. Was a great experience and we are delighted!

Hello Ruskiegirl.
I’m sorry you are going through the uncertainty of an SCH. I can only tell you my experience and everyone is different.
At 6+1 I gushed red blood. I went to A&E and was told my cervix was still closed. I had no cramps or pain, just a lot of blood. I filled a few pads that evening.
I had a scan at 6+3 and saw a heartbeat. I had 2 more follow up scans over the next 2 weeks and we saw a massive haematoma. It was still there at my 12 week scan but gone by 16 weeks.
I bled on and off for 2 weeks (lots of gushes, some clots but no pain) and it was horrible. I was totally sure I was going to lose the baby.
I didn’t and she is now 15 months old.
My advice is to keep an eye on the amount of blood, but don’t give up hope. I’ve heard so many positive stories after really quite heavy bleeding. I rested for a day or 2, but not bed rest as I had a 1 year old who needed me. After that, I resumed normal activities.
I hope all is fine and you can enjoy Christmas.

Hiya@elliecain
Do you know I’m not even sure any more
I’ve been bleeding since my scan last Friday where baby was seen and heart beat
They noted a bleed under baby
I’ve never had this before in other 3 pgs
so bleeding for 4/5 days now
Like gushing
I’ve another scan this friday
Just hoping it’s Sch blood
Nothing has passed clotting or baby it’s just blood
Any help would be great ? Or just a chat
Thank you

Sorry, been at work all day.
With my second, I bled so much and was terrified. I didn’t have any cramping though, and my cervix was closed (I had an internal exam). They said my tummy was soft too. Do you have any cramping?
I bled a lot for a day and then on and off for a couple of weeks. Was your scan an internal one? That can sometimes irritate things and lead to more bleeding. I hope you get good news on Friday xxx

Really hope someone can help me here. At 9w I had a bright red gush of blood and a large clot. I was told I had a hematoma. I spotted brown pretty much since then.
I had my 12 week scan yesterday and saw a very wriggly baby.
Today in the shower I was sick, then had a quick stabbing pain that only lasted a second. Around an hour later I was losing red blood again. I’m really worried that the bleed has gone from red, to brown for weeks and now back to red that something is wrong. Can anyone reassure me please? We have a scan booked for Monday
