During Pregnancy Passing Subchorionic Hemorrhage Clots?

Most of the blood clots that turn up on sonograms during the first trimester are what doctors call subchorionic hematomas. In plain English, that means a blood clot that's situated between the wall of your uterus and your baby's gestational sac (or chorionic membrane).

Do you pass clots with Subchorionic hematoma?

Vaginal bleeding caused by a subchorionic hematoma can range from light spotting to heavy bleeding with clots (although it is also possible to have no bleeding at all) (6,7). Some women experience cramping alongside bleeding, especially if bleeding is on the heavier side (6).

Is it normal to bleed and pass clots during pregnancy?

Sometimes during pregnancy, women pass blood clots vaginally, which is an understandable cause of concern. In the first trimester of pregnancy (first three months), women may bleed as a result of implantation (where the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall) or due to early pregnancy loss (miscarriage).
