Darker and smaller amount of urine is not a typical symptom of preeclampsia. The patient should be educated to look out for symptoms such as headache, blurred vision, abdominal pain, or reduced fetal movement. Lying on the left side is a good position for blood flow to the fetus. Pain in the top of the abdomen may indicate liver involvement, which is a sign of worsening preeclampsia.
