Subchorionic Hematomas: Here’s What You Need to Know
Update: 2025-11-13
Description
Bleeding early in pregnancy can be terrifying — but in many (even most) cases, it’s not as dangerous as it seems.
In this short episode, I’m unpacking what it means when you’re told there’s a subchorionic hematoma. I’ll walk you through what’s actually happening in your body, how it’s diagnosed, what it means for your baby, and — most importantly — why it’s usually not your fault.
You’ll learn:
- What a subchorionic hematoma is and how common it really is
- Why it happens (and why you didn’t cause it)
- How doctors monitor it over time
- What to expect with follow-up ultrasounds
- Practical tips to protect your peace during the waiting period
