Would you travel at 9 weeks with a fairly large subchorionic hematoma? I did IVF and my fertility dr said it is fine and won’t increase the risk of miscarriage but I have gone down a rabbit hole reading things online and am scared. The travel is for an important work trip and I would really be screwing other people over if I bail.

I would trust your doctor. This is one of many things that could pop up throughout the course of your pregnancy - the internet is the wild wild west.

Pregnancy & motherhood are all about risk tolerance, you have to decide what’s best for you🤗

With the green light from your doctor, it seems like you could go if you want — what’s going to feel better to you or is going to stress you out less? Are you going to beat yourself up more for bailing or for traveling at 9 weeks?

Personally I would not travel. Nothing is more important than getting your baby safely here - certainly nothing work related. I’ve also learned that doctors don’t know everything and in some fields (such as OBGYN) they actually don’t know much at all.

Personally, I would not.

I would not… fellow IVF mom. If I had a small hematoma, maybe - but to me, it would be about what would cause me the most regret. If I somehow lost the pregnancy while work traveling, I’d regret the decision forever.

I had a small ScH we discovered at 7 weeks and my fertility dr told me it was okay to travel for work at 9 weeks (it was an international trip); I should just be on modified bedrest- cab instead of long walks, etc.
I got back from the trip and a few days later discovered I had a MMC. This did not have to do with the ScH. That being said, if it had caused the miscarriage, I never would have forgiven myself.
We work so hard to make these babies, why take an unnecessary risk for work? I would stay home.

I went through a similar situation and consulted my doctor before making a decision. Sending you all the positive vibes!

I had a small ScH at 8 weeks and my doctor advised no air travel until 2 weeks after last bleeding incidence.

I haven’t done IVF, but had SCH in all of my pregnancies (2 babies, 1 miscarriage). The SCH will stay the same size, and your baby will get bigger. It’s very risky right now because the SCH is bigger than the baby. Once the baby is bigger than the SCH, you will be in a better position. For now I would try to do as close to bed rest as possible. Definitely no sex, penetration, or orgasms.

Can’t predict the future but family is already talking about trips and I want to set expectations and do what is best for baby. TIA!!
