My doctor ordered me an ultrasound and blood test yesterday but on the paper it said threatened ab. What does that mean. Is it where the baby threatened to abort????? I just dont know. I know the baby is ok and its heartbeat is good and its still in the uterus. Thanks in advance for all of the answers.

A threatened abortion is a possible miscarriage. You may be showing signs that a miscarriage could happen. Have you been bleeding or having any unusual pain? He/she may just want to check your hormone levels and ordered an ultrasound just to make sure that everything looks the way it should. If the baby is okay and it has a good heartbeat, you should be fine. I know that it is easier said than done, but try to relax and be as stress free as possible until you get the results back. Good luck. I hope that everything turns out fine for you.

It could mean threatened abortion. Abortion is the medical term used for miscarriage (as well as induced abortion).
Threatened is used to indicate that the symptoms for something were there, but that the event did not actually occurr.
