Blood Clot behind the placenta

[Morgan277]

I went to the dr. yesterday for a sono and check up and all went well- I am measuring 7 weeks just as I had thought.  The dr. mentioned a small blood clot behind the placenta.  He said that some dr's will put their patients on bedrest but he sees that it doesn't help either way.  He seemed unconcerned about the clot but said it will be monitored.  Has anyone has this kind of experience?  I am also taking a baby asprin b/c I have a very mild form of thrombophilia.

Thanks in advance!

I am also 7 weeks and had an US yesterday and was told I had a hematoma. It is like a blood clot/bruise caused by implantation. I actually posted to see if anyone has heard of this.  The dr. did not seem very concerned.  I am praying for both of us.

I actually went to the docs today and was told I have some blood behind the placenta. I saw in on the U/S. She isnt too worried about it at all, just told me to take it easy. Dont be on my feet for long periods of time, no pushing, pulling, lifting....all that fun stuff. She also said no sex. I dont know if yours told you that or not. Best of luck to you

Sorry I can't help with your question but wanted you to know I was thinking of you and your baby.   Good luck!

ahhh, no sex?  wouldnt that be a relief!  ha!  I have a dr. appt tomorrow so Ill check with the specifics then.  Seems like the blood clot thing is more common than I thought and Im relieved to find your dr's are not that concerned either.

thanks!!

Hi,

I, too, just went in 2 days ago for an ultrasound.  I bled quite a bit 3 days ago and was concerned.  Upon seeing a healthy fetus with a heartbeat, they also found a very small blood clot.  My doctor told me "You have everything to gain and nothing to loose by going on bedrest."  



He did say that there is no medical study that validates the efficacy of bed rest, but in my case, I'm doing it until next week when I will have another ultrasound and determine the size of the clot.

Did you guys get checked for UTI's. I had one and a blood clot. Anyway, my dr told me bed rest and I did not listen because I had 3 days left of a nursing intern and I was stupid and after seeing a healthy sac and heartbeat at 6wks I m/c this week. I do not know what caused it. The nurse said it was not my lack of bed rest but if I had it to do again my feet would not touch the floor. Best of Luck.

Hey ladies.. I am Deeply deeply praying for any one who has this condition, I went in for some cramping and a little spotting, and was told there was a blood collection behind the Placenta, and it would either correct itself, or I would miscarry, I was 9 weeks 5 days at the time.. I seen the baby, movin around, legs, arms, everything, Hearbteat was great.. Cervix was closed.. The next day I lost my baby.. I started (T M I) Gushing blood, it was the blood excaping, I went back and got monitored, the baby was still alive, heartbeat, movin around, the collection of blood was getting larger and I was hemmhoraging? (I cant spell) then My cervix was wide open about 7 hrs later, baby was still there, but in distress, half hour later they checked again, and the heartbeat had stopped..  =( Its only been 5 days so Im extremely devastated and shocked still... So I pray that your pregnancies work out, Stay monitored!!! Make sure they do alot of u/s..

I just realized how old this post was ..

I to went through something similar to you.  I went in for my 12 week NT scan and everything looked great, I saw the baby moving around and the heart beat was strong everything was normal.  I went back to the doctors four days later for a pap and heartbeat check with my OB and found out the baby had died.  The was a large blood clot behind the placenta.  I never had any bleeding or any other indication that something had gone terribly wrong.  

On the second hand while I was pregnant with my 14 month old I had a small clot behind my placenta that resolved it's self and I went on to deliver a healthy 8lb 6.2oz baby boy so there are happy endings out there.

I went to the doctor last week and after the u/s she said your baby looks great, but there is a blood clot and it can cause a m/c. I am devastated. I have another u/s this Wednesday, but I am so nervous...I have no bleeding/spotting, just cramping, and bit of pain in my uterus/belly button area.  She told me that after seeing the h/b there is 1-5% chance of m/c. This is our first baby and we waited so long. Hope all goes well, and wish all of you best of luck.

I too, have a blood clot. It is about 1/2 " I am 20 weeks and am very nervous. I have been bleeding off and on for about 3 weeks now. Baby looks OK, but Dr says after 24 weeks I won't be at risk for m/c. I wait and pray....

I also started bleeding when I was 9w4days. I got very scared and went for an ultrasound. A hematoma about 2" was detected, but baby was fine. I was prescribed moderate bedrest for 2 weeks (no sex, either). Things were looking good (just some dark spotting) by the end of the sencond week, when i started bleeding again, heavier than the 1st time. Went to an ER, had another u/s and the same thing was said. The baby was fine, but there was a blood clot
