Thank you both. I was lucky that this took place on the day I had an appointment. I went to a new Dr to see if I would like it there better than the place I was going to. Well she was so super sweet and really tuned in to what was going on. She right away did an u/s and the baby was looking good. She said that I do seem to have a tiny sub-bleed still but nothing to be worried about. She also said tho to be safe she is sending me to a high risk Dr. Surprisingly they got me in today. I go in at 11am. She seemed very pleased and was very comforting. She did not at all appear to be alarmed about the bleed which did make me feel better.

I find it to be so hard when you have things going on in your pregnancy that you don't understand and also have not a single person close to you to help you because they have never experienced it. I am glad that there are a few of you on here who do understand and it is very reasuring to hear your stories and turn outs. It is keeping me relaxed. Thank you both again for everything. I will keep you updated.☺

I also went thru the fear thru the entire pregnancy.

I think that when I bled so early, it made me not want to bond with the pregnancy. I had terrible nausea for the first 16 weeks, but was basically healthy.

But then, in the 2nd half of the pregnancy, I ended up with Gestational Diabetes (not related to the bleed) and with Pre-eclampsia-which ultimately led to an early delivery.

I found myself being almost "indifferent" to it all.... until I was able to bring Mia home from the NICU.

Just remember, brown blood is usually ok. If you're worried that you may have "passed" part of the pregnancy, put your toilet paper in a ziplock and take it in. The docs can usually look at the blood to see if there's any grey fleshy matter to determine if it is indeed the pregnancy.

I agree with Mary! It is a hard position to be in. They tell you its OK to spot during pregnancy, but in your mind its hard to cope with. I have been there and done that too. I just think once you get past that beginning stage of pregnancy things will go a lot smoother. I was scared to death with this one. Even though I bled more then I have before with my losses it was hard to come to terms with everything was OK due to my history. I am sure everything is fine. It just sucks they way pregnancy goes. I wish all pregnancy's were like what they make it out to be on TV, perfect. But of course not! They like to throw us through hoops. I guess we really have to work for what we really want~! I hope you are doing better and are able to put your feet up and drink lots of water. You are in my prayers to keep your little bean safe and healthy! Let us know how it goes!!

Thank you all so much. i am going to check out a different Dr on Weds. If I like that office and Dr I will switch. The one nurse at the current location has been very nice, but the lady I saw last week just seemed rude with the whole rushing thing. We shall see I will deff keep you all posted with what I decide. As far as the bleed, I have not had any since last Saturday and the nurse yesterday said thats a really good sign. I have been having lots of bed resting too. My ms is soooooo bad right now. I am having a hard time keep it together. I never had this with my son. It was so bad yesterday that all i could do was dry heive. I also have not had a lot of protein because of how hard it is to eat so i am drinking the Carnation instant breakfast stuff in hopes that it helps with my dizzy spells. Boy I have some not so great pregnancy symptoms. Funny how it crept up so strong at nine weeks. lol

I will be 10 weeks on Weds. Wow bring on the 2nd Trimester!!!!

See the little girl on the left?

She was the result of a subchorionic bleed at 6 weeks.

Something like 25% of women bleed during the pregnancy at some time, and over half of those go on to full term deliveries!

Just take it easy.... pelvic rest, if possible.... no sex, no exercise.... try to wait till 13 weeks.

Like you, my doctor made little issue of it, other than instructing pelvic rest.

I would switch if I were you. You are supposed to feel welcome and comforted by your doctor. I have gone through my fair share of OBs due to the fact that they didnt take their time when I had my appointments or didnt care to answer my questions or just seemed too busy to really care about their patients individually. If you feel any discomfort in your office, change it. Especially if you are wanting to be seen more often then what they are seeing you due to comfort. My OB now she's been with me since my 2nd loss and is very caring and comforting. She actually monitored me really closely for my first trimester. It is nice when you feel like they understand what you are going through and take extra efforts to make you feel comfortable. I am glad that there is no more bleeding, it is a relief! I hate that feeling you get when you bleed, nothing in the world comforts that feeling. I hope you are resting as much as possible. Keep me posted on what you decide to do! I am looking forward to seeing u/s pics of the little one =]

Thanks Samantha. On a good note I have not had anymore bleeding since that saturday. I had a bit of brownish disacharge on Tuesday which i am guessing came from left over blood from that Saturday. I have had a bit of a tough road with my ob office. i really miss my old Dr but sadley he retired and moved. So I may try another location. I felt rushed and made out to feel like a fool when I went in for my post hospital visit on Monday. I also do not even get to see the Dr until I am 16 weeks along. At this office they have you see the np for your first two visits. The nurse just called me and was so super sweet which makes me want to stay, but I just don't know if thats enough.

2ndchance- I believe everything will be just fine. I too had bleeding around 7-8 weeks, in fact I gushed blood and spotted off and on. There was no explanation. I was told it was subchronic bleeding as well. They basically told me that if I was not in any pain that there shouldnt be any problems. My OB monitored me closely for a couple of weeks but everything turned out to be OK. It is so strange, I never bleed as much as I did with the other pregnancies that we lost, so you never really know its going to turn out bad. I thought for sure another m/c but he stuck around for us. I hope your bleeding subsides fast and you are able to continue your normal activities with your 4 year old. I am sure you are constantly on the go with your 4 year old. Take care! Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

7mm subchorionic bleed @ 8 1/2 weeks

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:49:21 -0500

Hi there I am 8 1/2 weeks pregnant with great hcg levels and a viable so far healthy baby. HB is 165. Well on Saturday I started to spot red so I went to the hospital. The Dr then told me about a possible placental abrubtion which I then was told by my ob it was a subchorionic bleed. They said it is small measuring at 7mm. I did not have anymore spotting until I wiped this am and had some brown discharge. No cramping either. Is there still a chance that this can turn out ok? I know it seems touch and go, but I just don't know what to do. Is 7mm really small and do I have a chance of it fixing itself?

I have been resting as much as I can but with that said I do have a sick 4 year old that needs me.
