Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
I am Dr. Aarti, Gynecologist, and would be glad to assist you with your health concern.
I have gone through the attached reports also.
Let me explain what SCH means.
It is sub chorionic hematoma.
Chorion is the tissue that supports the growing pregnancy.
SCH means that there is some amount of bleeding within this tissue.
This carries a risk of possible miscarriage at times.
It is not normal at all.
However, there is no reason to panic, because the good news is that the baby 's heartbeat is quite normal.
So please relax.
Just be aware of the possible complication, such as a possible miscarriage.
Continue all medications sincerely.
Take lots of rest.
Avoid stress, travelling, jerks, intercourse.
Most of such small bleeds vanish on their own with time.
Get a repeat scan in 2 weeks or earlier if you continue to bleed.
All the best
