Symptoms Suddenly Gone - with follow-up!

Hi All,
I've been visiting/lurking this board for a while now (I'm 11 weeks) because I have had lots of questions and concerns about my pregnancy (I have had 1 previous miscarriage at 5 weeks, I found I was pregnant when I miscarried). I wanted to share my story of my disappearing pregnancy symptoms because it seems like a common concern on the board, but with very little follow-up details from other women. Reading that lots of women go through this is very reassuring, but after reading so many "I had that too", I got really curious if everything turned out okay for those moms-to-be whose symptoms suddenly vanish.
So my story: On Sunday I woke feeling basically great. No nausea (I have't had terrible morning sickness, but I did feel nauseous every morning), my boobs weren't really sore and throughout the day I noticed my bloating, gas and constipating dissipated. Sounds great right? But it was kind of worrying that every symptom just turned off in one day. So Monday morning was the same story, and I realized I hadn't had to get up to pee in the middle of the night like normal. I started to freak out a bit, I didn't feel pregnant anymore. In my Monday night yoga class my fears deepened because going through a vinyasa flow from plank to upward dog normally kills my pregnant boobs, but last night I felt nothing.
So when I woke up this morning feeling not pregnant again (and not having to pee) I was terrified I had had a miscarriage. Luckily when I called my baby doctor clinic at 7:30 am, they could get me in today for an ultrasound to check out what was happening in my uterus.
WHAT A RELIEF! Baby is fine! Heart was beating strong as ever and all the growth is perfect according to my 11 week status. My husband and I were so relieved, and our ultrasound tech was amazingly comforting. Our doctor said everything looks great and it is normal as women approach their 2nd trimester for symptoms to fall off. I wasn't expecting them to all turn off at once, but since everything is great with baby, everything is great with me.
I really just wanted to share my good news story for any of your moms-to-be that are experiencing the same thing and worried sick like I was. I mean my story won't be true for everyone, but if you can't get in for an ultrasound as quick as I could, I can't imagine the worrying you are going through!
Good Luck to everyone with your babies-in-development!

Re: Symptoms Suddenly Gone - with follow-up!
This post was right on time. Thank you!
I heard that the placenta kicks in around 8-10 weeks and it takes over hormone production and that helps ease your symptoms somewhat??
Either way I am still scared, it's hard to feel "lucky" when you don't feel pregnant at all. I called my OB and she said I should be happy to be feeling better and that it's normal to feel symptoms go away at this time. I have to wait until 11/27 for my 12 week ultrasound. I am hoping/praying that everything is ok b/c I really want to tell my family at Thanksgiving...until then I will use these boards to help me feel better! :-)
How did things turn out? I'm going through the same thing now, and they won't do an ultrasound till 12 weeks, so that's 3 more weeks of torture! My symptoms are essentially gone out of the blue and I'm FREAKING out!
