I am 8 weeks pregnant. I had slight bleeding at my 6th week and my doc took scan and said the baby is doing fine and said she could see sub chorionic hematoma (sch). She has given some susten tablets and weekly injection. I had no spotting or bleeding for ten days. Now since last night I again see some bleed. I walked down two floors and went for some veg shopping. Does this affect? Is this kind of bleed common and does it go and come after some time. Does the size of sch reduce as days pass. Please advice and guide though I have an appointment after two weeks. This is my second pregnancy and my first pregnancy went on very normal without any prob.

If the hematoma is big compared to size of the embryo, then it is serious. Small bleeds may stop and usually do not affect the baby. Bigger bleeds, which occupy larger surface can effect blood supply to the baby, it can trickle down appear as period type of bleeding. If it happens again and again, and doctor finds no other cause of the bleeding, then sch may be risky for the embryo. It is better to visit the doctor sooner than 2 week, and scan repeated. Completed bed rest at home, no climbing stairs.

As your scan was showing subchorionic hematoma, one thing may be possible that that hematoma may have dislodged and cause bleeding, or it may lead to threatened miscaariage, but just get one ultrasound for confirmation, do not do sternious work.
