Renee- I am NOT a health professional but I probably(U/S isn't 100%) had a sub-chorionic hemorrhage with this pregnancy and I can at least relate my experience to you. I started spotting at 5 weeks, "old blood". It continued on and off to varying degrees for 6 more weeks. At 11 1/2 weeks I passed a golf-ball sized clot and about 1/2 cup bright red blood. Obviously I went running to my midwife. She heard a heartbeat and sent me for an immediate U/S. The U/S showed a happy healthy 11 1/2 week fetus and evidence of a sub-chorionic separation/hemorrhage. I was given no special instructions, told the baby was OK and to go about my business-I have 3 other children 5yo and under-going about my business is pretty hectic:-). I did and now I only have 6 weeks to go. Again, I am NOT a doctor, just another Mom telling you what happened to her.

One interesting thing though. Caroline said that if what indeed happened was a sub-chorionic hem. we might actually be able to see a scar on the placenta when the baby is born. If I'm in the right frame of mind :-) I'll try to remember to ask the delivering midwife(I go to a group of 6 CNM's) if she sees any scar.
