Mystery Medication

7w 1d

Yesterday, I got a call from the nurse at the OBGYN with my lab results.  She said all the tests were negative, but I still had a prescription to pick up.  I figured that it was for the prenatals that I knew they told me I needed to get.  This nurse was talking so fast and was so hard to understand that I didn't really want to ask her what this prescription was for.  It sounded like it was a second prescription, but I figured that I was just misunderstanding her.

When I got to the Wal-Mart pharmacy, as expected there were 2 prescriptions.  I asked the pharmacist if it was a normal prescription for pregnancy.  She said it was for a urinary tract infection.  Surely there had to be a mistake.  The nurse told me that all my tests came out fine.  It isn't precautionary to need to take medication for something like a urinary tract infection.  I felt it prudent to not start taking the medicine until I got a straight answer from someone.

This morning, I gave the OBGYN a call and spoke with a nurse who went through my records.  Apparantly I did have a bladder infection and did need the medication.  Either the first nurse failed to mention it or she was talking so fast that I didn't understand her when she told me.  Either way, I'm glad that I know what this mystery medication is for.  Perhaps some of the cramping I thought was normal in reality wasn't.  I trust the tests, but I just wish they could be more clear with me.
