    Pre-eclampsia?
    I have been having really bad headaches with blurry vision and seeing colors that last 30 min to an hour, for 3 weeks now , and a sharp pain in my back right below my shoulder blade in my rids sort of and it lasts 2-3 hours if not longer,I'm 38 weeks pregnant on Friday by the way,I haven't had any protein in my urine or I don't think so the Dr. Hasn't said anything about it,and I haven't had any high blood pressure so I'm lost I went to the Dr. Today for the headaches because I had one that make me cry it hurt so bad and it frustrated me from having trouble seeing with the colors,she gave my a prescription for Tylenol with some pain killer mixed with it I don't recall the name and also told me when I got my next check-up to let her know if they haven't gotten better but I'm just curious for some ones opinion on my situation..

    Headaches can be common in the last trimester of pregnancy. As far as pre-eclampsia, as you already know, the doctor looks for protein in your urine as well as your blood pressure. These both are monitored very closely in pregnancy.

    Do you have any swelling?

    The best thing to do is to take the Tylenol #3's that your doctor gave you. 1-2 every 4 hours as needed for pain, drink plenty of fluids and avoid bright lights and loud noises.

    Swelling (edema) is very common with pre-eclampsia. It is usually noted not just in ankles, but in severe cases the entire body as well.
