I am 10 wks pregnant. I was bleeding continously for 5 days from red to brown discharge, but never exceeding the volume of a pantyliner a day. Had a scan today and the doctor suggested that it could be subchorionic hematoma. Will do a scan next wk again to see any changes. On top of the fact that I have sub septate uterus, this hematoma might have a chance of miscarriage too once its fully discharged according to e doctor. Is there anyone who has gone through this or even has a uterus anomaly? If anyone did, could you brief through your experience?
Am trying to educate myself with this kind of problems. Thanks 😊
FYI, the baby is growing well with active heartbeat as of today's scan.
I had subchorionic hematomas in my last 2 pregnancies. With the first pregnancy, I had a big bleed around 5 weeks. I had a scan at 7 weeks and baby was doing well. I then went on to miscarry shortly after that. However, the doctor had no idea if that was connected to the hematoma or not. Second pregnancy I had a slightly smaller bleed around 7 weeks, had a scan and baby was fine. I had some spotting throughout the first few months and then another bleed around 18 weeks. 20 week scan showed the hematoma was still there but it was small. I had another scan at 28 weeks and by then the hematoma had been reabsorbed and couldn’t be seen on the scan. My daughter was born healthy at 38 weeks. I’m now pregnant again (9 weeks) had to have an early scan at 7 weeks due to spotting. They could see a hematoma again on the scan so I know I might have bleeding at some point. I have been told not to worry about it though, as they usually harmless. Did your doctor explain why they think you have a chance of miscarriage? I think getting to 10 weeks is very reassuring x
Thats good to hear about your 2nd pregnancy! She didn't really explain why it may lead to miscarriage though. It didn't even cross my mind to ask her why! On the other hand, she's not entirely sure herself, hence the need to scan again next wk. If I remembered correctly, the size of it was half e size of my fetus or slightly smaller. I think. The doctor seemed to be occupied with scanning than really explaining. I let her off cos she admitted beforehand that she lacked of experience when it comes to scanning uterine anomaly. Fyi, it is a bit confusing whether the hematoma was in the other horn or in e same horn as my baby as it is outside the sac, if you get what I mean at all 😅.
In overall, I read about uterine anomaly that I have up to 40% chance of miscarriage in some studies. Im pretty sure there are successful pregnancy too despite of that. Oh wells, I really do want to hear positive outcomes! Thanks for sharing by the way!
