I suffered a massive sch bleed at 6 weeks. I passed many massive clots and was told I had a miscarriage. I bled for about a month thereafter. At a routine check up it was discovered I have not miscarriage after all. I'm 32 weeks pregnant now.

This actually happened to me and I was told I wasn’t pregnant and later found out I was pregnant at 11 weeks via vaginal ultrasound. I didn’t get a positive home pregnancy test until my 12th weeks. I had a boy.

[@MsEma0810]

I’m 10weeks I had a gush of pink discharge after my husband and I had sex. Shortly after about 30mins or so, it was bright red fresh blood. (today is 1/31/2023) we went to the Er immediately this past Sunday and they did an Ultrasound scan and explain to us I had a SCH.. they explained everything to us. My vitals were good, the baby heart rate was great and during the ultrasound I saw the baby moving around 🥰 But I was still very scared being that this is our first child together and we were trying to conceive for 3 months prior to becoming pregnant. Since Sunday the ER visit, I’ve have a dark brown discharge that is slowly subsiding associated with occasional mild cramps(which could also be growing pains). We have an appointment this Thursday with our OB to make sure everything is still progressing properly. Send us positive vibes 💕💕 and to the mommies who’s experiencing the same thing may god bless us all and give us perfect peace and healthy babies!

Sending strength to women and couples going through this. In my case I numbed my emotions and couldn´t fully connect with or enjoy the pregnancy in first -second trimestre. I just willed everything to get better. This was my first pregnancy at 37/38 years old. We planned and prepared for pregnancy and to our relief, it happened within 2 months. I had implementation bleeding which was quite heavy, I actually assumed it was a slightly early period. Later at 7 weeks pregnant after a sudden small bleed, a SCH was diagnosed. It lasted 4 months. And included about 4 trips to the ER. Sometimes heavy bleeds (gushing tap) and clots (larger than the size of a fried egg) would happen out of nowhere. It was traumatic. Each time I had no cramps and the heartbeat was fine and cervix tightly closed. For months I rested as often as possible and moved incredibly gently, slowly and carefully. The third trimestre was better, it had completely gone away. I could go for gentle hikes again, swim a little, and felt more at ease to become emotionally connected and more hopeful about my growing baby. I went on to have a healthy baby by elective CS at 39 weeks. The truth is so many families have traumatic fertility journeys, pregnancies, and or births. Just take it day by day. I´m just about ready now to try for my second one and hope whatever the journey, the outcome will be a healthy baby, and if not learn to accept that too. So much more research and study is needed in the area of pregnancy and more education and support should be provided. We have a long way to go. It´s great that more videos are being put up about this. In 2019 when I had mine, I feel like there was much less info available about SCH online and on youtube. Kudos also to all those who share as I think that´s what helped me not feel so alone when I went through mine. It also helps to know someone went through the same or a severe situation and things got better. It´s temporary, things will get better.

From my personal experience, I would recommend anyone with hematoma to rest/ take it easy. I had a hematoma, doctor told me there's nothing I can do about it, and definitely no need for bed rest. Unfortunately, at 18 weeks we lost the pregnancy. Now I am pregnant again, I had hematoma again, we decided- this time - no risks! I went on bed rest at 14 weeks and thank God, at 20 weeks it totally desolved.

[@OurFamilyJourney]

Thanks so much for this video. I was in hospital yesterday at 7 weeks pregnant because I’ve got a sch - I didn’t know and thought I was having a miscarriage with the amount of blood and cramping.

IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM THEY DID AN ULTRASOUND AND LUCKILY BABY WAS PERFECT. THEY CHECKED MY CERVIX, AND THANKFULLY, IT WAS CLOSED.

I’m so glad that there is more information out there about this. I had them in 3 of my last 4 pregnancies found on ultrasound. I actually never bled and was made to feel like I was almost certainly going to miscarry all three times. I had all three kids between 39 and 40 weeks totally healthy and kind of feel like I was made to feel fearful unnecessarily. Mine completely reabsorbed by 20 weeks. These were all in the last 8 years but I feel like public information about SCH has come really far. It’s encouraging and I really appreciate this content.

[@kayciblizzard2742]

I’m 39 with 4 children and had no idea that you could bleed without it meaning a miscarriage until this happened to me a few days ago and I learned in a birth group about sch. I hope my story in that group will reassure anyone who it happens too as you have me

Thank you, Dr. for sharing such an important chapter of your pregnancy. It gives all the new mom's to be a piece of mind that we may not be able to find anywhere else since it's so early in our pregnancy. In my case I have noticed bleeding when I wipe too hard, when I feel constipated and have to push a bit harder, or when I have pressed my belly against something and have caused me pain. Now I know a bit more what to do and what to keep an eye for. But still I'm around 6 to 8 weeks pregnant at the moment. Hopefully it will keep growing 🙏

I am currently 23 weeks pregnant with my second, I started following you when I was pregnant with my first and interested in your content on the Covid vaccine during pregnancy (received both vaccines in third trimester as a health care worker). With both pregnancies, I had spotting/light bleeding about two times during the first trimester which are very scary. I was never diagnosed with a subchronic hematoma via ultrasound, it seems that either hormonal fluxes or cervical changes led to bleeding in my case (even around the same weeks). Even knowing that bleeding can be normal in the first trimester, your mind always goes to the worst case scenario. Thank you for your content!

[@dr.martaperez]

I'm so glad you found it helpful! It truly is such a tough thing to counsel about because of course it could be a sign of a miscarriage but it is ALSO totally normal to have some bleeding with healthy pregnancies. The unknown is hte hardest to live with.

They saw a “sack” of blood and the doctor explained that everything looked great, just had a hematoma.

One year ago today I was 7w4d and had been bleeding for about 2 weeks. Finally had my ultrasound and went in sobbing because I just assumed I had lost the baby, but instead was diagnosed with an SCH and got to hear my sweet babes heartbeat of 136bpm. My doctor scheduled another ultrasound to check it a week later, where we found out that baby unfortunately no longer had a heartbeat. I've continuously blamed myself for the loss (even though I know I couldn't have prevented the SCH), but since that diagnosis last year, this is the most I've heard/learned about SCH. Currently 23 weeks and so far no complications/no SCH so just praying for the best for the next 17 weeks.

Joy!

[@rosemagny]

Thank you for sharing your personal experience. My Dr always talked about chances of miscarriage diminishing after 8 weeks and the day I turned 9 weeks I felt a gush of warm fluid coming out just like when you're on your period. I hurry to the bathroom bright red blood! No cramps I was convinced I was having a miscarriage. Rushed to the ER they found a mild SCH, heartbeat was strong and baby was moving around. That was a bit reassuring but still scary. Bleeding stopped the night of but came back 2 days later which is now today as we speak. I try to not worry as I can bleed for a while before it can resolve. Praying for a healthy pregnancy nonetheless 🙏

I am in the same boat on day two of bleeding. I am 11 weeks. Here in solidarity.

[@Saint_Galahad]

I’m in the same boat. Had one giant gush of blood, then brown spotting, and now today I’m having some small rust colored bleeding. I’m hoping this means it’s just resolving itself. Here in solidarity as well🙏

@@Saint_GalahadHey , after how many weeks it was healed? Are you okay now?

[@michelleholder13]

Thank you for touching on this

[@kayciblizzard2742]

This happened to me a few days ago , this is my 5th pregnancy just over 7 weeks I feel a gush of blood and as I’m completely unaware of this happening I automatically think it’s a loss . Then I ask on my birthing group on Facebook and it’s not uncommon and seems to happen mostly around 7-8 weeks with a few exceptions. I’m so curious why 7ish weeks? Also I’m greatly relieved as I’ve suffered one miscarriage and it was devastating as anyone who has will know. I’m so grateful to learn that this isn’t dire

I've given birth to 4 children... so I'm not new to pregnancy and all it's surprises. But I had my period all last week. Saturday was my last day of period. I often have little headaches on a daily basis, but two days later, Monday, I started having one of the worst headaches and it was very unusual compared to my usual headaches. I ended up crying by the afternoon and my back was aching. My husband has never really had a headache, so he doesn't understand my pain, but even that day he was making phone calls to see what we could do to fix me. Eventually, I went to the restroom and noticed my period was back! I used a "super" tampon, but a couple hours later, I felt that it was already time to change it... which is unusual. When I went to change it, that's when I passed a huge blood clot the size of my finger! The only other time I've lost a blood clot like this was when I had a miscarriage a couple years ago. Mind you, I wasn't trying to get pregnant. I'm 38. My husband is 45. Together, we have 7 children. So....I didn't think it was a miscarriage because I didn't think I was pregnant. I just had my period! Immediately, I went to the store and bought a pregnancy test. I took the test in the store bathroom and it came back positive. I called my doctor, but they can't get me in for over a month. I'm not bleeding anymore after that clot passed 4 days ago, but all day, everyday, I'm still having this terrible headache that's unusual from my "normal" headaches. It's unbearable at times. I don't feel like myself. My mid back is still aching, which it never does until now. I don't want to, but I guess my best next step is to go to the emergency room. I just don't know what's going on.

I had a subcnrionic hematoma at 13 weeks super small , had bed rest and by 25 weeks it was big and lost my sweet baby boy at 16 weeks , placenta abrupt ion.

[@annadavis2547]

This happened to me in 1995 13 weeks into the pregnancy. I was told that these usually heal on their own or I would likely miscarry. I did not miscarry but continued to have bouts of hemorrhage. I had several transfusions and at 25 weeks the baby was taken due to low platelet levels. I think my doctor called it a chronic abruption. He survived no compromise. Miraculous. During the surgery the doctor asked where is the placenta? There was none left it had been replaced by chains of clots. This made me wonder, is this a possible complication of a sch?

[@Okont]

Wow!

[@jacoblimon4519]

Been Scared My wife is 7 weeks & 2 days pregnant she had a small amount of discharge blood late at night then in morning she got up to use the restroom & whip & saw blood we went to the er & they said she has a subchorionic hemorrhage but she has no pain just morning sickness been scared for past few days & are appointment for the ultrasound is in 2 weeks so these pass few days been going by slow & i been stuck in my thoughts but keep telling her everything fine but deep down scared because i don’t know if everything going to be fine:/…. best option i can is just pray for the best

[@shazanakhan9807]

I had a scan and blood test done today, they couldn't see much in the scan said i was too early. So Monday need to do another blood test and there after a scan in 10 days. Hopefully everythings all good by Gods grace 🙏🏽 Update: my second bloodtest showed my hgc levels dropped. 5 days of bleeding has stopped completely. No further follow-up required. I keep telling myself I'm still preg as I swear I can feel a tingle. Who knows I'll do a preg test tom and if it shows preg I am. All my so call hcg levels are back to 0 since Tuesday morning.

We dont really know whats going on and made us confused the result. I was refferred for Obgyn and additional ultrasound. Thank you for this video sinced my last ultrasound i had also a subcrionic hemorrhage. Its gives me hope...🙏 Now I understand...

Is the recommendation not to walk too much or not to pick up your toddler a good recommendation in the case of SCH?

[@heathercarte6327]

I had third trimester bleeding around 30 weeks. At first they thought it was a small placental abruption but now they think it is a SCH. Is this common to be diagnosed in third trimester and is there any research showing outcomes if it is discovered later in pregnancy?

i am 5w3d pregnant after a FET of 5 day embryo. I had a gush of blood with 2 small clots (I think they're not tissues) yesterday that filled a liner. Blood test shows my progesterone is low so additng prog oil (on top of my prometrium and suppositories). My clinic won't scan me for another week. I'm freaking out. I'm asking dr. google every other second and checking my liner every 20 mins. The prog oil is making my hip hurt. I'm a tiny women and 40. Any insight or opinion would help.

[@mother2mother_fitness]

I had slight bleeding and was put on Utrogestan but week later I had a mmc. Could it have been the slight bleeding or what? As my ob said that if I do fall pregnant again I then need to start with Utrogestan and see him when I'm 6 weeks gestation and not wait till I'm 8 weeks.

Is there any data for SCH unresolved by 20 weeks? Those studies only went until 20wks. My last pregnancy I had a very large SCH that did not resolve by 36 weeks when we stopped monitoring and this pregnancy I have another large SCH, I'm just shy of 20w and no where near it resolving

I have a history of recurring miscarriages and my previous pregnancy was ectopic. Now I'm 12 weeks and last week I was cooking and all of the sudden I was surrounded by a pile of blood. I rushed to emerge and they refused to do an ultrasound so I had to wait till the day after. I have a Large SCH baby seems ok but the hematoma has doubled the size since. I'm on bed rest and my OB doesn't have anything to say... I was on progesterone and low dose aspirin till 2 days before the bleed... Did your pregnancy went to term?
