Brief Answer:
Repeat TVS scan and review with report.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Subchorionic hematoma or bleeding is most common type and occurs in 3% of pregnancies.

Presence of subchorionic bleeding around gestational sac DOESN'T have significant association with miscarriage. It should be monitored till 10th week of pregnancy.

You should continue prescribed medication, take adequate bed rest, avoid heavy work or strenuous activity, long journey and maintain genital hygiene properly.

I suggest you to repeat the TVS scan in this week to know the status of fetal growth, viability and well being.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish her good health and successful motherhood.

Regards,
Dr S Patra
