I think they have to play it that way, yk? I was told that these happen a lot and people simply just don't talk about them. Probably because they are sitting and waiting for the worst to happen, instead of being reassured that most often things will be fine!

I was told by my OB and the MFM doctor that unless the SCH measures the same size as the gestational sac or larger, everything will be fine. If it is very large, it might cause the placenta to abrupt as the scab falls off. This is rare. For this to happen a lot of bleeding happens. Not spotting. Bleeding like a heavy menstrual period or more.

Hang in there, play it safe for a while. Hold onto the fact you saw the heartbeat (YAY [emoji4]!!), and try to relax a bit!

Do you have another scan scheduled or appointment?

Hugs!!

How much fish oil are you taking if any?? Let's wean that back by half now (don't stop it cold turkey, wean back)

if you can't wean (pills are big or whatever) then start taking every other day

Thank you so much XX :kiss:

I do have another scan in 2 weeks it was booked prior to this but I will keep it :)
I saw the measurements for the bleed but can only remember 18mm - I'm sure it was 18 x 2 x 6 or similar. I'm hoping that's small? It said sub to sac which again I'm not sure about.

Atomic I had 1000mg capsules so have been doing EOD with them, is that ok to continue?

Start skipping 2 days between them.

Atomic the only supps I have continued with are my pre natal, extra folic, vitD & fish oil :)

I weaned off CoQ10, stopped EPO & keep forgetting probiotics now :D

Oh that's good! That means it is super tiny! They want to watch it and make sure it doesn't get larger, but don't worry! With one that small everything should be fine! Mine was 1mm X 5mm X 12mm.

FX!! Has the spotting stopped? Don't be alarmed if after it stops for a few days that you see brown spotting and the scab come out in the toilet or when you wipe. When this happens you may have light spotting for a day or two as it oozes while it heals. Once this happens, it should stop for good. This is what the MFM doctor told me! I was thankful, because I noticed the scab and thought crap it's a clot! It wasn't though, but I thought it was at first glance.

I'm praying this resolves quickly and you can enjoy this pregnancy fully!!!

Am I aiming to stop the fish oil eventually?

Thanks Atomic :)

The proper bleeding has stopped its down to blood stain mucous (mostly old) and pink streaks occasionally.

Thanks so much I was warned it could happen again and to go back in but nothing about a scab - I'm glad im prepared for that now. So if that happens it's a good sign of healing?
I hope you are right XX and that this fixes itself :pray: I haven't gotten to enjoy this pregnancy at all yet between MS and then this.

Sometimes the body will reabsorb the scab and you won't know it came off, but you will see a tad more spotting and brown spotting after it happens. I was told I may see mine pass because my placenta was in front.
