I am pregnant and at my first visit they did the standard pap test. However, a few days later, the doctor's office called me and told me that it looked like I had a yeast infection. I've never had a yeast infection and never showed any signs of having one. I just wonder what could tip off the test results...

They probably did a culture at the same time, which may have shown some yeast. No, big deal and it's normal for woman who are pregnant due to the hormone changes. Another thing to remember is if the pap comes back abnormal, this is usually and I stress the word USUALLY normal for a pregnant woman due to the hormone change as well. If you still feel a little nervous then consult your doctor.

Probably something in the culture and he may have noticed the discharge looking like a yeast infection or even just thicker then it should be... then of course he would have double checked that. Not a big deal! Pregnancy will do that to ya!
I personally never get any itching or burning only symptom I get is the super thick (I am naturally thick, sorry to get to personal) discharge.. not even the cottage cheese... so I have to keep and eye out for changes in my discharge, otherwise I would never know. SO even though YOU don't know it he probably seen something "off" and checked.

These are very common in women. If you want to know what caused yours ask your doctor.
