magnesium

Has anyone had a magnesium sulfate drip before? What were your side effects? And did it successfully slow your labour? or manage your blood pressure? Thanks

I didn't but the nurse told me I was given a low dose for 24 hours. She said the higher the dose the likelier you are to have a lot of nausea

I had the magnesium drip after my c section to prevent seizures and control my BP. I didn't notice any side effects. It did help my blood pressure a lot.
