Subchorionic: >50% of women who bleed during their first trimester go on to have perfectly healthy pregnancies. But because subchorionic hematomas have been linked to increased risk of placental abruption and preterm labor, you don’t want to ignore signs of spotting or bleeding.

Pregnancy: A small subchorionic hematoma may cause vaginal bleeding in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. If it gets larger, there is an increased risk of miscarriage, preterm labor, and abruptio placentae, which is the separation of the placenta from the uterus. The fact that it is small is a good sign. Continue to have it monitored by your OB/GYN.
