Subchorionic bleeds are bleeds that take place in the uterus but outside the pregnancy as the fetus buries itself into the uterus. They are the most common and they are the most common reason people bleed in the first trimester. People can have fairly heavy bleeding, but they rarely lead to miscarriage.
