Subchorionic hematoma @6 weeks pregnant

Congrats to me I had secks (no pics) and we are having our third child.
We just had our first ultrasound and we are six weeks along. The doctor said that the sac is intact, we have a pregnancy and a 120 bpm heartbeat.
She said that she noticed a small subchorionic hematoma. In a nutshell this is a busted blood vessel outside of the sac between the uterine wall. She didn’t seem overly concerned and wants a two week follow up. She compared this to a bruise.
Do any or you folks have or have had you other experience this? Can you provide your experience to give my wife an idea of what you’ve experienced?
We do have two healthy children and we have lost two children to give you a history. We have not however experienced this condition.
Thanks and try to keep the jokes to a minimum ;)

I'm not a doc but as you know, they will tell you all kinds of horrible things that make you worry and they usually amount to nothing. hope it all works out and congrats!

We had this early on in our current pregnancy. Went away over time and everything is doing good and on track.

There's nothing more nerve racking than ultrasounds. It sounds like the doctor wasn't too concerned. Congratulations!

Congrats on the new one. It's not that uncommon. Everything is fine.

Congrats to you, OP. We had our third a few years ago and experienced some mild placenta previa. It all turned out well and if you didn't see any concern in your OB, it should be fine.
Good luck and God bless.

I don't remember how far along she was but my wife had the same thing. It eventually went away and she had a normal pregnancy. I don't think it's all that uncommon or very dangerous.

Many pregnant women run to the emergency room when they see vaginal blood during pregnancy, even though there is likely nothing to do if less than 20 weeks... "subchorionic hemorrhage in early pregnancy" is a common diagnosis in the E.R.... several times per shift is not an exaggeration. Trust the OB/GYN...

Wife had a subchorionic hematoma with our last child born this past April. They found it on ultrasound probably the same time as your wife, and the only thing different was no vaginal intercourse until it disappeared, which took probably 10-12 weeks. Also no heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for my wife during that time. Our son was born on his due date without any complications. It’s a little nerve wracking at first because this was our first time dealing with this, but I’ve learned with physicians that if they are not concerned, neither should you.
Also, expect her to have some occasional bloody discharge. That’s normal. She will probably have more frequent ultrasounds than her previous pregnancies to monitor the hematoma. Congrats on the baby, and don’t let this ruin the joy of pregnancy.

Most likely will be ok, but...
Nominally Subchorionic hemorrhage is indeed associated with early pregnancy loss, HOWEVER, it depends on the volume (we use the size of the gestational sac for comparison), and to a lesser extent the location of the lesion.
The great majority of the time they are inconsequential and resolve without incident. The software on the new sono machines is so advanced we can see even the tiniest collections of blood.
If a patient is having significant bleeding and the accumulation is > 50% of the volume of the sac size, then that is a worrisome scenario. If is small (ie less than 25% or so) and there is only spotting, then risk of early pregnancy loss is pretty much normal. I typically follow these with serial ultrasound until they resolve, and will also evaluate sonographically if symptoms change.
Good luck and congrats.
