Update

I had a follow up ultrasound today.
They said the subchorionic hemorrhage (SCH) is significantly larger [There is more blood between the chorionic sac and the amniotic sac. ]The second baby is complete unseen now. They believe not there anymore. The first baby still appears strong and growing well.
They don't seem too concerned. I am to not lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk.
Pelvic rest,No vacuuming,sweeping,laundry baskets,or anything strenuous.{Sounds like bedrest to me.}
But he said he was unsure if bedrest would help or not. I am to return for pain or bleeding. I return for an appointment in 2 weeks on Nov 7th at 3pm.
but so far no ultrasound is scheduled for that day. I am to see the perinatologist for a level III ultrasound and a genetic counselor in 6 weeks. I will probably see my regular doctor every 2 weeks unless I have complications or complete healing of the SCH. I'm told if it completely resolves by 20 weeks,I may deliver fullterm. If it doesn't
I can still deliver a healthy preemie. Pre-term labor is caused by this condition. Sometimes it can be stopped and most times it can only be delayed.
