Olivia Culpo has detailed a blood clot that appeared during the early weeks of her pregnancy.
Sharing her experience via a TikTok post on Tuesday, March 18, Culpo, 32, detailed how her recently announced pregnancy to husband Christian McCaffrey left her “bleeding everywhere.”
The video, which was recorded on December 12 when Culpo was nine weeks’ pregnant, revealed that the model was put on strict bed rest after falling ill for two weeks with pneumonia. “I’ve been truly on bedrest for, like, four weeks,” she said before moving into the details of her blood clot. “Towards the end of the two weeks of being really sick, I got a subchorionic hematoma which is basically a blot clot in my uterus and I was bleeding everywhere.”
According to BabyCenter, a subchorionic hematoma, also known as a subchorionic hemorrhage, occurs, “when blood leaks out and collects between the uterine wall and the chorion,” which is the membrane around a growing baby.

Culpo, who announced her pregnancy via Instagram on March 10, explained that she had been left “so exhausted” as a result, but was relieved to hear her baby’s heart beat during a visit to her doctor. There, she learned how to navigate the remaining weeks of her first trimester.
“[The doctor] said you can’t go anywhere, you can’t travel … just truly, stay in bed,” Culpo said before adding that “a lot” of progesterone suppositories helped to “keep the environment best” for her unborn child and allowed “the placenta to attach.”

Culpo concluded, “I’m really grateful that everything’s going well so far. I really do believe [the progesterone suppositories are] the only reason why I’m still carrying this baby. I just hope that this can help anybody else going through this.”
Culpo and NFL player McCaffrey, 28, tied the knot in June 2024 after dating for more than four years. Culpo said during an October 2023 TikTok video that after she walked down the aisle with McCaffrey, she planned to “rip out” her IUD and “start trying immediately.”
