ABC "Dancing With the Stars" professional dancers.
“Dancing With the Stars” professional dancer Lindsay Arnold experienced a subchorionic hematoma in the first trimester of her second pregnancy. She opened up about the experience in a new TikTok video.
In the video, Arnold shares that she has experienced a subchorionic hematoma with both pregnancies. The one she experienced in her current pregnancy, however, was more extreme and occurred when she was seven weeks pregnant.
“This one was extremely bad,” Arnold shared. “It was to the point where I thought I’d lost the baby.”
Arnold went into detail about the experience in hopes of raising awareness for other women who may experience the same thing. Arnold first revealed the hematoma in November 2022.

Arnold said that she and her family were away from home on a vacation when the bleeding started, and one night, she experienced “extreme pain” and was up all night.
“So basically, Sam [Cusick] and I both thought, ‘Okay, I’m probably having a miscarriage,'” she said, adding that she called her doctor the next day and went in days later.
The professional dancer added, “I was very convinced that I had miscarried. I mean, I held on to a little bit of hope, but it was so hard because this experience was so different than what I had with my first pregnancy.”
She added that there was a heartbeat and they could see the baby moving around, so the baby was okay even though there was bleeding.
“I bled for another three weeks after that,” she revealed, adding that she’s “very grateful” that everything turned out well for her and the baby.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, a subchorionic hematoma is “when blood collects under the chorion membrane during pregnancy. This membrane attaches the mother’s uterine wall to her baby’s amniotic sac. The most common symptom is vaginal bleeding.”
Most of the time, the condition goes away and some women who develop the hematoma do not experience any symptoms.
