Abstract
Background: According to the text book of obstetrics and Gynecology,
prematurity is the first cause of perinatal mortality. Therefore
postponing delivery will become mandatory to prevent complications of
prematurity. Parental MgSO4 is one of the most common and the safest
medications for this purpose. Case report: We present a primigravida
patient with multiple uterine myoma who had premature labor and
received intravenous MgSO4 for 58 days in order to postpone her
delivery while having a cervical dilation of 4-5 cm. The patient
underwent C/S at the gestational age of 34 weeks because of reducing
fetal movements and Breech presentation. Conclusion: Because of many
side effects of long term management with MgSO4 and bed rest, this
protocol isn't recommended for all patients
