I know why I bleed - well defined haematoma

[joanna0110]

Hi all, I had a bleed with lots of fluid a week and a half ago - it lastest for half a day and I have had nothing since. My local hospitol were not willing to scan me so I have paid for a private scan. The scan today showed I had a well defined haematoma posterior of the gestational sac. My notes say it is close to the cervix mainly anechoic in appearance with some internal echoes, suggesting a fresh bleed. It is quite a large area.

In normal terms she said it could be a bruise from inplantation and that i may bleed again. She also said that as it was below sac and close to the cervix it is the safest place for it to be and fairly normal. It should clear itself up by 20 weeks.
Although I am glad that i know what has caused it and that the sonographer didn't seem concerned, but am still frightened that i might bleed again. The baby is growing according to dates and she could see stomach and bladder today.
Has anyone else ever had this or know anything about it? Think i might have to google just to find some more info - no i shouldn't but i have learnt more during this pregnancy than i have during my last three and can't stand not knowing!
Thank you for reading x

Wow, I havent heard of this, it must be a constant worry for you regarding the bleeding but try not to (easier said than done I know) - Its reassuring to know that they think it will clear and that baby is developing in accordance with how it should; sorry I cant offer any advice but wanted to say something. Take solace in the fact that the sonographer wasnt worried and that it is in the right place by being near your cervix. Good luck

I had a bleed that showed on my scan with my last LO. They said it might come away as brown blood or just be reabsorbed. They said it was perfectly fine and nothing at all to worry about. I never bled and it was gone at the 20 wk scan.


DONT. GOOGLE.

This is what i find a little confusing, i had a scan four days before bleed and they didn't say there was a bleed under sac and sonographer said it should have been there! Maybe they didn't tell me so i didn't worry. Half of me wishes i didn't know now because i'm even more worried as it is so large. I'll try and stay calm - breathe!
