Question
Age 30/ 14 weeks pregnant
I read a response you wrote to a concerned mother about a subchorinic bleeding episode.  You asked for research that would make one alarmed...

is one of many sites that make the occurance appear much worse than you stated.

Answer
Most women with threatened miscarriages due to subchorionic bleeding do not miscarry and the subchorionic bleed dissipates within a few weeks. The article that you referred me to merely shows that a subchorionic bleed that occurs later in the pregnancy has a different outcome than onw that occurs in early pregnancy. The article also mentioins that most resolve and go on to have normal pregnancies. I have seen many, many patients with subchorionic bleeds in the past 30 years. Most had normal healthy babies.
