AboutTandi Expertise I can answer questions about ovulation, conception, luteal phase problems, infertility, early pregnancy, miscarriage, fertility medications, 1st trimester pregnancy issues, and most other fertility issues. I can also answer questions about premature birth and micro-premature babies. I cannot answer questions about birth control or elective abortions. My knowledge is also limited in regards to other medical conditions, so I may or may not be able to answer questions on how they relate to fertility. Also, I am only familiar with fertility medications used in the United States, so I may not be able to answer your questions about foreign medications.
Experience I am an RN who has worked extensively with neonates in the NICU as well as fertility treatments and miscarriage.
Education/Credentials I received my nursing degree in 2003 from New Mexico State University.

Answer Tatjana,
Congratulations on your pregnancy. SCH is very common in early pregnancy, and if found quite often when early ultrasounds are done. Only a follow-up ultrasound will show if the SCH has healed itself. I looked at your ultrasound, and it shows a perfect baby! An SCH located far away from where the baby is attached to the placenta is actually typically safer than those that are closer to where the baby is attached. However, the only real way to know the outcome is to wait and see. I do hope the best for you and I pray that your baby survives the SCH and you have a very happy and healthy pregnancy!
