So I first posted on here and had some lovely responses and advice, you can read that on the following link:
http://www.pregnancyforum.co.uk/first-trimester/490495-hopefully-expectant-father-here-3.html
Anyway, to update everyone my wife experienced more bleeding (fresh bright red blood, clots and dark blood) on Sunday just gone and this has continued on and off. We went to the EPU again (following our previous visit and scan last week) and had another scan. She's between 7-8 weeks now.
We got to see the baby again and a heartbeat was visible which was great news at this stage - he/she is growing at the correct rate at the moment and you could see how big they've got! The person then doing the scan diagnosed the bleeding as a Subchorionic Hematoma. She explained what it was, this is why my wife was bleeding and also said that the Baby was fine in the sac - she didn't seem majorly concerned. Has anyone else had a/have been diagnosed with Subchorionic Hematoma?
I've done some googling since I've been home and seen that they recommend no heavy lifting, sexual intercourse and so on. I've also seen is can cause miscarriage is some cases (some have put it at between 1-3% of all diagnosed, some have just said large have a higher risk with no further information). Does anyone have any thoughts? As I say, the person doing the scan didn't say it was large (what is large?) or mentioned anything about us needing more regular scans. She didn't seem concerned and just mentioned the rest etc.
Appreciate any thoughts
