It probably is related. I had a kidney infection with my 1st and was warned that it may set off labour (it didnt) so they must see kidney infections sparking off contractions. just keep an eye on it and get yourself checked or some medical advice any time you arent happy with how you feel. Out of interest, are you having a boy?

This is baby number 3 and i am high risk without the infection i am waiting for the doctor to call me back its kinda crazy i had a dream that i had the baby today which i just turned 31 weeks it was scary this pregnancy is alot harder cause of all the health issues that have come up with me n him n since the infection started i have started having contractions every 10 mins after 2 days its slowed down now its a few a day n this pain feels like i am getting shocked its kinda werid i cant explain it any better

Im not sure what ur quite feeling. Does ur dr consider u high risk with the kidney infection?  Your baby could be settling into position.  Is this ur first? Its common for first time moms to experience that early. As long as ur not having regular contractions ur fine. Call ur ob if u get concerned.
