Subchorionic Hemorrhage

.
It has been a week since J's bleeding episode, and there hasn't been any more blood since (knock wood). However she sent me last week's ultrasound report, which confirmed the presence of a subchorionic hemorrhage measuring 1.24x2.35x0.48cm. My googling has revealed that an SCH can be a pretty scary thing... risk of miscarriage, placenta abruption, growth restriction, the list goes on. Thus, it is clear that our problem is bigger than just a little unexplained bleeding. Most SCHs eventually resolve on their own, but until that happens (if that happens?), I'm not going to feel any sense of peace. J had a follow-up appointment with her OB today, and the babies were still alive and kicking. Yet, I can't shake the lingering pit in my stomach. I was going to worry through this pregnancy no matter what; I'm just sorry that we now have a reason to worry.

I've been checking your blog constantly and wondering what is happening - if you need to chat email me, okay?

Is your GS off work, if she's not on bedrest, then I would chat with her about it, it's for sure a good "just in case" move.
stay strong.

I'm so glad things are ok. I know you don't want something to worry about but it sounds manageable, right? thinking of you.
