Little scare; Greater relief

Monday evening, I had a little scare. I passed some gray tissue and almost immediately my pregnancy symptoms ceased. No more frequent urination, no more breast soreness, but no bleeding. After initially freaking out, I called dad and decided I would call my OB on Tuesday. By Tuesday, I had talked myself out of it. This morning (Wednesday), I couldn't go anymore without worrying about my lack of symptoms.

I had an appointment this morning. After the exam, Dr. Zehnder said that it was tissue, but not a whole lot and he thought it all felt normal, but he ordered a scan (ultrasound) to check on a few more things. I saw that he had written "Threatened AB" on my paperwork. Threatened AB is threatened abortion or threatened miscarriage. I guess the scan was precautionary. Anyway, we saw a yolk sac, a tiny white thing which was the baby, and a primative heartbeat! Everything looks good! The doctor was relieved. I still have my "initial" appointment scheduled for next week to check on things.

He asked if I had any questions... which I did. I told him about my trips planned to OKC in May and WDW in October. He said OKC was prefectly alright. He said he prefers not to allow patients to leave the state six weeks before the due date (which is Nov 18), but mid-Sept would be fine, so I am very happy that I still get to go - AND I have a healthy embryo right now!
