Ever heard of a subchorionic bleed in the first trimester?

[NicMom]

We got to see and hear the hb today! The baby looks fine, but right next to the gest sac is another dark spot and the ultrasound tech said it was a bleed. The dr called it a subchorionic bleed and said they will monitor with a follow up ultrasound next week. She also said to limit my activities to walking nothing high impact and no sex.

So the question is has anyone had this happen before? Did it go away on it's own?

Hey I also had have one! Started bleeding for about 3-4 days dark maroon blood at 8 weeks, ultra sound showed same thing it was small but I was put on bedrest for a week and no sex till im out of the first trimester! Bleeding has not come back and they have not repeated an ultrasound because they can hear the heartbeat with a doppler! So im praying it gone! So far so good im 11wks today, praying for you and please take care of yourself! I really feel like it helped me to go on bedrest for a week. THe doctor did say it was fairly common and that in the 12 years she had only seen one women m/c from this type of bleed and she said that was because the bleed surronded the entire gestation sac! Take care!

I also had one about 8weeks and was also put on bed rest and no sex. Mine is still there but it is healed he did say that it can some back open so be careful not to lift or anything. I am 24 weeks and just got the ok to have sex witch is quite a good thing having to wait 6m sucked let me tell you that is hard. but all is ok now good luck...

I've never had one but it does happen. Bedrest and limited activity is crucial so heed her advice! Congrats on hearing the heartbeat!!!

It's pretty common. With my first pregnancy they found a small one around 6 weeks along. I was told to take it easy, no lifting, exercise or sex. Mine just went away on its own and I had no complications or bleeding.

Thank you I am so grateful that things have turned around like this its been a crazy couple weeks! You can't knock the power of prayer.

I had a horrible one with my first. Its actually pretty common and a very common reason to bleed in early pregnancy. I started bleeding bright red and worse than a period during week 5 and it lasted until week 10 and then just magically stopped. Doctor told me he had never not seen one heal on its own and that they usually heal by week 20. I wasn't put on bed rest but I was told not to have sex until I wasn't bleeding for a week straght. My daughter just turned 3 in December. I wouldn't be too concerned about it.
