@lauren_thelabornurse: If you had preeclampsia in pregnancy, you may have been given magnesium sulfate. It’s not for blood pressure — it’s to prevent seizures (eclampsia) and protect your brain. This is part of my preeclampsia series where I explain what’s really happening behind the scenes in labor & delivery. Have you ever been on magnesium for preeclampsia? What was your experience like? And if you’re pregnant, have you ever heard of this? #laboranddeliverynurse #laboranddelivery #preeclampsia #magnesium

I am so sad for the people that had a horrible experience with a mag drip. 😭 It seems like I am one of the few that didn’t have any side effects from the mag drip!

Mag sucked. And I didn’t get to meet my baby until 24 hours later. But I’m still here

Mag felt like I was on fire, drunk and hungover at the same time. I was slurring my words, couldn’t think, throwing up constantly and it burned like fire. It was the devil incarnate but I’m glad for its neuroprotective effects!

I wish my doctor had explained my postpartum pre-eclampsia even half as well as you did here. I would have been a lot less scared for sure.

I had postpartum preeclampsia…the drip definitely made me feel like I was on fire and very out of it but I never felt as bad as I expected. I wanted to decline it from the tiktoks that I had seen about it.

OBGYN RN, former LD,PP. just had my first pregnancy and delivered in July. I have CHTN and was TERRRRIFED to get pre e and put on mag. Thank the lord, my BP was actually better during pregnancy and I never developed it bc I would’ve actually cried. I think something people don’t realize is pre e can actually develop even PP

I had postpartum preeclampsia so I needed magnesium when my son was 5 days old. I felt INSANELY DRUNK. like blackout drunk. It’s a whole blur I don’t remember anything from those 24 hours. I had some WEIRD dreams 😅

Delivered at 32 weeks w my first and was so out of it on magnesium I had to close one eye to focus, I felt so drunk. No burning or heavy arms, though. NICU baby for 18 days! Taking baby aspirin and checking blood pressure daily now that I’m pregnant with my second

Worst part of mag was not being able to drink water. 50 ml an hour felt like torture 😭especially with feeling like i was on fire😭😭😭 went through it twice and both times were absolutely terrible.

They kept me on it 24hrs after delivery and all I remember is how rude the nurse was to me about filling out the birth certificate postpartum all while my brain had completely left my body. She kept coming in and saying things like “why is this not done already” “you really need to get this done so we can move on” “what are you not understanding” finally I was like ma’am I don’t even know my own name right now much less can I read write and figure out what my child’s name is😅

I had pp pre e twice & had to have the mag drip both times. It’s absolutely awful! After a csection, a newborn, and the mag all together is a terrible time.
