Is Everything O.K.

I went to my month check-up and everything seemed to be going great. I returned to work and by 3 pm I started to feel like I had moderate menstrual cramping. I went home, made dinner and took a nap. When I awoke at 10:30pm the cramping had not yet subsided and decided to take a Tylenol for the discomfort. By morning the cramping had stopped, however the pressure remained. I decided to call my doctor to let him know what was going on and if this was normal. Unfortunately, he was unavailable, however, I was told by the office to stop by the hospital to be check out by the on-call doctor just to make sure things were good. I did not realize that being checked out was going to take 3 hours. The doctor hooked me up to this machine that would check the heart rate of the baby and to monitor if I was having any contractions. Also the doctor checked to make sure my cervix was still closed. Fortunately, that went good and I had a nice rest listening to her. I feel so relieved that the baby is doing good and the pregnancy progressing nicely. In the end, it was discovered that I have bladder infection and the doctor took me out of work for the rest of that day and the following day to rest. I had no problem with that. Having a bladder infection is very uncomfortable and I sure needed the rest. I have started an antibiotic and by today, Monday, I am feeling much better.
