Large subchorionic Hematoma - success stories please

[1sttimer]

So I had an experience on Friday where a large hematoma came away and I passed a clot the size of my fist. It was terrifying but at the emergency scan the next morning my little bean was still ok, heart beating away. I have another one though apparently at the same level as the baby, measuring not much smaller. (I'm 9 wks today, and it's measuring 4 cm). They've told me it could happen again and may bring the pregnancy with it or it may shrink and go. I now am back on frequent scans. Have another in 10 days with a consultant to see how it's doing.

Weirdly 24 hours before this happened I'd had an 8+6 reassurance scan where they said they were happy the first was shrinking and I could go back onto normal obs at 12 weeks. Not sure how such a change in less than a day but there we are. I had wondered if the internal scan may have interfered with it and encouraged it to come away but who knows.

Would love to hear success stories of this all working out for people who had hematoma's considered 'large' for the term of the pregnancy. I'm currently guzzling tons of water and hardly moving from my desk! It's taken me 3 years to get to this point with a previous MC so just terrified of it all going wrong. Apparently I also have a retroverted uterus and heart shaped womb... just hoping that doesn't cause more problems?

Didnt want to read and run but I have no experience of this. Im sorry this is a concern for you but it sounds like the doctors are quite positive that all will be ok. I had a bleed near my baby but not sure how big when I was pregnant but it just got absorbed and they said not to worry.

Sending a big hug xx

Thanks Clover! That's reassuring. Did you pass any of the clot? (sorry if you don't want to say that's cool!) or was it just bleeding? Do you know what size it was?

Hi! I hope you are doing ok. I had a large sch and although I never passed such a huge clot, it did measure 2.6cm x 6cm x 2.2cm wjen it was eventually discovered, so it was big. I first bled at around 8 weeks and it was a huge bleed, it soaked down to my socks and when I went in for a scan all was fine and they said the bleeding was unexplained. This happened another 2 times between 8-12 weeks and each time they said the bleeding was unexplained. I had a private scan where they found the sch and took a photo for me to show the nhs staff and my gp. After that my epu found the sch themselves. However even then they werent too concerned. My GP however signed me off work for 6 weeks and advised I had as much bed rest as possible and to drink loads of water as that would help to pass the clot as quickly as possible before it got bigger. Once it passed it could then heal. Mine wasn't near the placenta..if it's near the placenta, that's when it can be dangerous. I took her advice and I bled for a few weeks after and by my 20 week scan it had mostly healed. That pregnancy is now my lively, happy and perfectly healthy 2 and a half year old daughter. I didn't have a sch with either of her sisters though. The body is odd!
Good luck hun and even though it's easier to say it, try and relax, drink loads and get as much rest as you can.xx
