Going into my Final Pregnancy
My final pregnancy was a very hard, emotional, & scary one. I found out I was pregnant the end of October 2019. It was such a rush to know I was able to get pregnant again after so many years.
During the first week (~6 weeks pregnant) I started to bleed while I was at work. I was hysterical and immediately called the nurse advice line to see what my options were. I ended up at the clinic to see my Primary Care Manager (PCM). It was at that point I was told I was most likely experiencing a miscarriage and I needed to be referred to an OBGYN. My PCM carefully explained to me the possibility of the miscarriage and how it was nothing I did that caused it (which I still felt like it was).
I ended up at the OBGYN just a few hours later. I got to see a sac that was empty. I was told one of two possibilities; I was miscarrying or I was not far enough along to see an embryo. My husband was a different country away but i was lucky enough to have two friends there for support!
Another week goes by before I had another appointment. This time they saw the baby & we got to hear the heart beat. I wasn’t out of the woods yet. I had two other major bleeds and one that sent me to the hospital. I spent 24 hours in the hospital, again being told I was having a miscarriage.
I bled from November until middle of January and was on bed rest during that time. I was told to not move other than going to and from the restroom. It was super hard as I’ve always been an active person.
Second Trimester
Once I moved into my second trimester I still had the hematoma but was able to stop any contractions and bleeding.

I too have never heard of subchronic hematoma. It must’ve been so scary, especially with your husband away. I’m so happy that you had friends close by and that you didn’t have to go through it alone.
Pregnancy is tough, especially when scary things happen like bleeding. So glad everything turned out okay.
It would have been scary not knowing what was going on with the subchronic hematoma. Sounds like you got the support you needed and the friends around you to get you through this difficult time.
I had not known about Subchronic Hemaroma. It seams like a hard time.
