How To Treat Blurred Vision And Braxton Hicks During Pregnancy?

I am 17 weeks pregnant with my third child. I had normal pregnancy's with both my boys. This baby is a girl. I had a hard time catching my breath yesterday, and experienced blurred vision today, I just couldn't seem to focus. Later this evening the colors in my left eye were "off" and blurry. I have seen my doctor about pain in the abdomen and was in the emergency room for false labor. They said is was braxton hicks but my doctor said braxton hicks are not painful. I am supost to see him in 2 weeks. Can these symptoms wait? what could be the issue?

Hello dear,I.understand your concern.In my opinion the cause for blurred vision can be due to various causes like hypertension, diabetes,any eye related cause etc.I suggest you to rule out the diabetes and hypertension.If everything is normal an ophthalmologist opinion might be helpful.Coming to Braxton hicks contractions yes they are not painful.The preterm pains are painful and associated with cervical changes.The causes for preterm pains like urinary tract infection or any other infection ,dehydration etc should be ruled out.Dont worry.They will subside once the cause is treated.Adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day prevent urinary tract infection.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
