My doctor mentioned something about a subchorionic bleed in my scan, and I'm a bit confused. Can someone explain what a subchorionic bleed is during pregnancy?
It's a small pool of blood near the placenta. I had to completely stop all my daily yoga and walking when I had this, as my doctor advised strict pelvic rest. Only resume light exercise once your gynac gives you the green light after a scan.
I just got diagnosed with a subchorionic bleed and I'm feeling so anxious and scared. My doctor said it's common, but I still can't stop worrying. Did anyone else have this in their first or second trimester and go on to have a healthy baby?
It is a collection of blood between the gestational sac and uterine wall. Having had a miscarriage before, I know how terrifying any bleeding can be. Please talk to your doctor immediately, take complete bed rest, and don't lift anything heavy.
I had a subchorionic bleed in my first trimester and was so scared, but today my toddler is running around fully healthy! It's basically a small blood clot near the placenta. Most of the time it dissolves on its own, but please keep your gynac in the loop and follow her advice strictly.
Since I had PCOS, my pregnancy was high risk and when they found a small subchorionic bleed, my doctor put me on progesterone and complete rest. It usually resolves by the second trimester, but please consult your gynac and don't do any heavy work.
