What are the chances of a medium sized subchorionic hematoma resolving and ending in a normal pregnancy? i am currently 7 weeks 6 days pregnant. i had my first prenatal visit 4 days ago and everything looked good. two days ago after getting out of the sho

To : To answer your questions: yes, there is a chance it will resolve on its own. There is definitely a chance of a miscarriage. With a medium sized subchorionic hemorrhage, your changes of a successful pregnancy are most likely around 50-50, but I have definitely seen it happen. A subchorionic hemorrhage does not necessarily put you at any greater risk of placental abruption, which is a different medical condition. You have done everything correctly. Be sure that you know that this is a random occurrence and just one of those things that happens for no reason. I will wish you the best.

The : The outcome of the pregnancy depends on a few factors: - your age - the older you are, the higher likelihood of miscarriage - the age of the fetus - late first trimester or second trimester bleeds have a worse prognosis - the size of the subchorionic hemorrhage (large hematoma = worse prognosis) i'm not sure of your age, but the fact you are only 7+ weeks along and that the hemorrhage is only medium-sized are both positive things. It sounds as though you had a good ultrasound with a healthy heart rate and are taking all of the necessary precautions. It is hard to give exact numbers because the various studies give such different answers, but with the information you have given me, you have a better than 90% chance it will resolve on its own and you will have a healthy baby. You are at slightly greater risk of miscarriage or placental abruption (1-10% chance depending on the study) than someone who has not had a hematoma. I hope this helps! if it makes you feel any better, i had a medium-sized subchorionic hemorrhage at 7+ weeks with my first pregnancy and, like you, was very concerned. Luckily, the clot resolved and i now have a healthy 15 month old girl. Just remember, a good outcome in your situation is much, much more likely than a bad one! good luck.
