visit to L&D

On Friday evening I had very faint spotting (very light pink), and just an isolated incident, but I figured I would call my doctor to be safe since it had happened once before and he said I should've called. He instructed us to go to the hospital, so we did. I was a nervous wreck, but after the urine test and examination I was diagnosed with a nice double whammy: a yeast infection and most likely a UTI, too. Yum! The Dr. then informed me that my cervix is totally closed and everything is looking good, which made me SO relieved. I must say, I've never been so grateful to have just a yeast infection in my life. 
So, lesson learned to any other newbies out there like me, to call your doctor if you have spotting (even if it's faint), and to not panic initially becuase it could just be caused by something easily treatable like a YI or UTI!

What a relief!
Also, I hope you are holding up well in this NYC heat. We've got a gross week ahead.
Exactly on all accounts! Hope everything clears up quickly!
Thanks! And it's so nice to be able to commiserate with another Sept mama in this awful heat. It makes me SO cranky and swollen. I swear, people say they hibernate in the winter....I've decided I'm the exact opposite: I'm a total summer hibernator and will stay in the AC as much as I can. It's brutal outside. Hope you are holding up, too and avoiding the subway as much as possible!
I really thought I was going to pass out waiting for the 2 train yesterday. Usually my commute only involves the shuttle between GCT to Times Sq, so that's not too bad. I plan to see lots of movies this summer, just for the AC!
Ugh, I feel your pain. Even though the commute from GC to Times Sq is short, it's probably the most annoying commute to navigate given all the people. The subway is my enemy right now! And good call on the movies.
