blood clots around placenta

I just got a call from the doctor and the blood clots around my placenta are slightly larger than they were 3 weeks ago...it worries me im now 12 weeks 2 days they say it may take til 20 weeks to dissolve but I would have thought they would have shrunk some :'( has anyone else had anything like this and everything turn out ok?

Im nearly 12 weeks and when i was about 6 weeks pregnant and i was bleeding quite heavily and was told to expect the worse.
i had to stay in on fluid why the got me an emergency scan which they found i had a clot underneath the baby. Every 4 weeks roughly i would bleed this brown blood which did have a bit of cramping with it, but the doctor never seemed very concerned and didnt put me on any bedrest reading this has really concerned me as im i havent been offered a closer scan or anything and people on here talk about there babies dying etc im so scared now! =(

My doc told me mine would probably go away on its own.  Said to just take it easy.  No lifting, and kick my feet up often.

I don't remember the exact size but it was fairly large.  It was almost the size of the baby.  Luckily with the bed rest it went away.

Is it a hematoma or a subchorionic bleed?  Just curious, cuz i began bleeding at 24 weeks.  My doctor did an ultrasound and said there was a slight tear in my placenta called a subchorionic bleed.  Basically there was a blood clot in between the uterus and placenta and it dissolved which caused bleeding.

I know when I had a hematoma with my first son I was on strict bedrest until I was 15 weeks.(that's when it resolved) I was only allowed to get up to go to the restroom, shower, and to my dr visits.  If possible do a self imposed bed rest, it can't hurt.  That way with little or no movement it may have a chance to heal.  Good luck.
