Need Help from Pregnancy Experts!! (Part 2) - Puxico,MO

Sub chorionic bleeds are very common. The placenta is so small now that the particular spot where it detached won't re-attach, but the rest of it will grow attached. Picture it like if you put a piece of tape on something but have bubble in one spot, except that this bubble is filled with blood. Some clots are large enough to cause complications, but most are just a temporary annoyance that goes away on its own.

I had a sub-C bleed in my 2nd pregnancy and swore that I was having a miscarriage at 10 weeks (it was A LOT of blood and tissue and I was bleeding for over an hour) and he was totally fine.

Don't worry about the measurements. They're just estimates. The angle of the wand, etc. can change the measurements a lot.

Sounds like you are just fine. I had a placenta hernia during my last pregnancy and bled a lot...but I have a healthy 2 year old now :) Try not to stress too much

What did the ultrasound tech say?
Not that s/he is a doctor but certainly somewhat qualified to give a reasonable opinion....

Thanks for all of your advice, guys. I have been just lying in bed, watching tv and trying to think calming thoughts. My brain runs away with me sometimes and I just want to know what to expect, because so much of my life has been complete question marks right up until something happens last minute. Just for once I'd like to know what to expect!! :/

I read this post and your previous one on Sunday or so.

I am sure this feels like an emotional rollercoaster for you right now. Do what you can to calm yourself. Whether that's meditation, prayer, or watching a favorite tv show-- whatever feels comforting for you, do it.

You are asking us a lot of very technical questions. The fact of the matter is, what will happen will happen. I've heard great against-all-odds success stories about pregnancy and there are disappointments too. Only your body, and your doctor, can give you accurate information.

My words of encouragement are to rest, take good care of yourself, have a friend or two come and visit if you can. Try to accept whatever happens. It may be that everything is fine, it may be that you will be on bedrest for a long time... none of us can tell you what to expect. We only know what we've personally experienced. But please--don't be afraid to ask the women here for support. That's what we are here for.:)

Take good care.
