I was diagnosed with a hematoma on Jan. 19th, at almost 14 weeks. I started bleeding and rushed to the doctor's office. It was a truly terrifying experience. A subsequent visit with a perinatologist on the 25th showed the hematoma is still there, and also I have a low-lying placenta, which can sometimes be the cause of a hematoma as the placenta doesn't attach as well to the lower uturus as it does to the upper uterus. It is now the 30th and I am still bleeding dark brown blood. The doctor says this is ok, but fresh red blood would be a bad sign. On top of all this, I'm scheduled for an amnio, and they'll have to go through the placenta to withdraw the fluid. I feel like a mess and am praying for the hemotoma to "scar down" so that I don't have to live in fear.
