I was told to take it easy, pelvic rest, no heavy lifting (which was hard with a 17 month old!), and the progesterone suppositories. I bled from 5 weeks until about 13 weeks, but it did resolve itself and I have a healthy almost 2 year old now! When I googled it, I was terrified, but I had a great outcome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1381114 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 11:17:59 +0000 Lindy 1381114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also found out that I have SCH during my 7w ultrasound so they also had me see the doctor. She didn't seem concerned just told me to take it easy (no DTD, exercising, heavy lifting) and that they would check it out at my next visit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1380064 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 21:43:27 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1380064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was scary but all turned out fine! I blogged about it if you want to check it out! Don't worry momma! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1380024 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 21:27:30 +0000 Pancakes 1380024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So interesting to hear these stories...I also have SCH and when I asked about the size and location, the doctor just said, somewhat brusquely: "It doesn't matter." And I was told I didn't need pelvic rest or anything...gosh, I can't wait to switch providers... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1380009 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 21:24:11 +0000 LovelyPlum 1380009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Step away from the Google! I'm sorry about the SCH, but I am glad that they think it's not a big deal and that you and the bambino are doing well!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1379977 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 21:13:37 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1379977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I'm doing good as long as I stick to my pelvic rest/no lifting requirements! We last checked in at 10 weeks and it was looking better. We go back at 12 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1379969 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 21:08:51 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1379969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I do know your story :(. How are you feeling?</p> <p>I am not taking BA. Still on progesterone for 2 more weeks, unless my OB decides otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1379950 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 21:04:12 +0000 matador84 1379950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a huge SCH, heavy bleeding for six hours until it passed. Minimal bleeding after until my on put me on progesterone to prevent miscarriage. That was about 10-11 weeks. Totally fine healthy baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1379947 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 21:04:03 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1379947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: oh my. Yes I think you know my history of the SCH. Are you on aspirin or anything? I had to go off the BA because it made the SCH worse (so we think). But now that I'm off it seems to be doing a bit better and maybe heading towards dissolving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1379941 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 21:03:02 +0000 yoursilverlining 1379941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SCH are fairly common. I had one, and bled in my early pregnancy. They just said not to DTD or any similar activity or heavy listing/straining for 6 weeks. It eventually went away in its own, although it took more than 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1379928 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 21:00:43 +0000 mlm2934 1379928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: oh the internet is scary and horrible! But all the bad outcomes I read about are large SCHs - 6-10 cm.</p> <p>I have had bleeding since 5wk, but ultrasounds looked ok. Then at 13w5d I had a bad episode that landed me in ER and found a 2-3cm SCH.</p> <p>I'm 15w2d now and everything is ok for now, and it's about .5cm smaller. My doctor never said a word about being worried about miscarriage. She is sending me to a specialist to see if there is any placenta separation, but her only concern there is that I would need extra 3rd tri monitoring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1379885 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 20:48:00 +0000 Pepper 1379885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Ah, I didn't realize you were on it too. I had similar issues. I also used the progesterone suppositories for the first 12-14 weeks and they definitely irritated things. Maybe it's a combo of both issues? I know some people have SCH without spotting. Either way, I hope it goes away soon. I hated the worry that went along with the spotting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1379857 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 20:35:42 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1379857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: I was on pelvic rest with Chloe. I bled, sometimes like a period, my whole pregnancy and they could never find a cause. </p> <p>This spotting is so light and infrequent they thought for sure it was the progesterone suppositories irritating my cervix. Ironically, I noticed spotting first thing in the morning, when the wax would kind of leak out. Today was the first time they saw the SCH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1379851 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 20:33:35 +0000 Pepper 1379851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: They're really common, from what I understand. I know my friend is on pelvic rest because of the size/location of hers... but even pelvic rest isn't a big deal (when I was on it I just couldn't lift heavy things or DTD). Try not to worry! Easier said than done, I know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1379839 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 20:29:57 +0000 deactivated_account 1379839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister had one when she was pregnant. It healed on its own. Although she did cancel the baby-moon trip she had planned because of the SCH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1379831 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 20:27:00 +0000 lovehoneybee 1379831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I had one. I was told it did increase my chance of a miscarriage only because of where it was located. It stayed throughout my pregnancy, but never grew in size so my midwife wasn't particularly worried about it. The tech at my first ultrasound noted it but didn't say anything to us about it. My midwife mentioned it in passing a few weeks later. They definitely weren't worried enough to schedule extra scans later in the pregnancy. I did have a pretty massive pp hemorrhage, though, and they weren't sure but thought it was possibly related. </p> <p>But obviously everything was fine, and I had a super healthy baby!</p> <p>I do remember how bleak google made it sound, so as impossible as it is, I suggest closing the windows and trying to relax. I know several bees have had them, that both bled out and didn't, and I'm fairly certain that in all cases the baby was fine (though they may have been put on pelvic rest for a while). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1379829 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 20:26:37 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1379829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: thanks! I wasn't even told to go on pelvic rest.</p> <p>I just reviewed the charts she sent me home with (I'm supposed to give them to my OB) and it simply says "there is a small subchorionic hemorrhage noted measuring .8x.9x1.0=.9cm" but they don't elaborate. Meanwhile there's a whole paragraph on my using progesterone. </p> <p>So.. It's really no big deal? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1379818 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 20:23:18 +0000 Pepper 1379818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My best friend has one (she's 13ish weeks pregnant). Her doctor isn't concerned either, and just told her to be on pelvic rest until it resolves. I hope it resolves quickly for you! I'm sure it's stressful seeing the spotting (which I totally understand). Hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sch#post-1379805 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 20:19:24 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1379805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found out today that I've got a small (1/2") subchorionic hematoma. My RE wasn't the least bit concerned and said this doesn't increase a chance of miscarriage; and poses no threat to me or baby. She suspected it would disappear before I'm seen by my OB, and if I'd gone straight to an OB it probably would have never been detected.</p> <p>Google makes SCH sound *awful* though. If you had an SCH, did you have a positive outcome? </p> <p>Before today, she suspected my spotting (very light and infrequent) was from progesterone suppositories! </p>
