Pregnancy after miscarriage - sub-chorionic hematoma and unusual dischargeFrom: Chenoa (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 30 Jul 2003 17:48:49 -0500 (CDT)
Hi, I'm 27, and 7.4 weeks into my second pregnancy. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 8 weeks, nearly 3 months ago. I've been scared and worried about this pregnancy from the start, and have had it closely monitored. At 6.4 weeks I had an ultrasound after noticing some brown discharge - similar to what occurred prior to my miscarriage - which was followed by a single gush of bright red blood. At that point we saw a fetal heartbeat, but also a sub-chorionic hematoma (sch). I'm due for another ultrasound in a week's time (at 8.5 weeks), but yesterday and today I've noticed a clear, jelly-like discharge, no odor. I've read elsewhere that a test to do to determine if you're passing tissue is to see whether it separates easily when stretched (gross, I know. Sorry!), and if it doesn't, then it's likely to be tissue. Well, this doesn't separate at all, it really is exactly like jell-o. I'm not bleeding, and don't have cramps. I've had consistent sharp pains in my right, lower abdomen from the start, but have been told that it could just be muscular. I've been talking to the Early Pregnancy Support Center at my local hospital on a weekly basis so far, and am worried that they're getting sick of answering all my questions - hence an internet post! My questions are: Does this sound like I'm passing tissue, so is this another miscarriage? If this isn't tissue, could it be a sign of a vaginal infection that could threaten the pregnancy in anyway? Does a sch increase my risk of miscarrying? Thanks - from a very worried, but hopefully pregnant woman!
