Should subchorianic bleeding require bedrest?

Should subchorianic bleeding require bedrest?

Hi,

This is more of an after-the-fact question for next time.
During my pregnancy (IUI + Clomid) I had 2 pockets of medium/small subchorianic bleeds discovered at 5 weeks. At 7 weeks it was still there but the pregnancy was viable with the question about the bleeds. However, no one told me to stay on bedrest. My outcomes were going to be the bleed was going to get absorbed, it would cause a miscarriage, or would be no issue.

Reading up on it, it seems most people are put on bed rest. Would the infertility docs just think that if a bleed was going to cause a miscarry, there was nothing you could do about it so why bedrest? Or really was there no risk since it was small?

In the end everything turned out well but we're thinking about going back for a 2nd baby doing the same IUI all over again. And now in hindsight it just scares me that maybe I should have been on bedrest instead of carrying on with life--going to work, walking 1/2 hour to work, vaccuming, etc. My son is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I can't even imagine losing him over something that could have been avoided/taken seriously.

Also, I am forever grateful I pushed for progesterone suppositories .The cramping was constant and maybe that helped with keeping him viable.

Thanks
