This is a first

Yesterday afternoon I started having contractions -- 4-5 of them during my 15-20 minute drive home from work.  Put myself to bed shortly after I got home.  (not sure how much I drank but I pee'd 7 or 8 times between noon and 10pm so nurse didn't believe dehydration was an issue)  Contractions slowed down/went away while horizontal but came back as soon as I was vertical again.

Saw NP today.  She did an exam -- cervix is still long and closed -- she took a couple swabs and looked at them under microscope and when she came back in she said "good news, it's a yeast infection."  So apparently I have a yeast infection irritating my uterus and it's not the start of PTL.  On bedrest for today, possibly tomorrow, depending on how fast I respond to the treatment.

As we got into the car, DH commented that "This is the first time having an infection has been a good thing."

Glad it wasn't labor! Several weeks ago I was having a lot of cramping and discomfort and turned out to be an infection too. Never been so relieved to have an infection lol

Your DH is right.  Hope it resolves soon.
