If magnesium sulfate is used in excess it may cause the fetus to suffer from hypermagnesemia, which can affect fetal growth. However, if magnesium sulfate is used in moderation, it usually does not adversely affect the fetus and can also play a role in preserving the fetus.
If a pregnant woman receives intravenous infusion of magnesium sulfate during pregnancy, prolonged use or excessive infusion will easily lead to the accumulation of magnesium ions in the pregnant woman’s body, and at the same time will also pass magnesium ions to the fetus through the placenta, which may lead to hypermagnesemia caused by elevated levels of magnesium ions in the fetus’s blood, which in turn will lead to fetal hypotonia, inhibit calcium absorption, and cause cardiac arrhythmia, which will affect the growth of the fetus.
If a pregnant woman shows signs of miscarriage during pregnancy, magnesium sulfate can be used appropriately to prevent miscarriage and preterm labor by inhibiting the contraction of uterine smooth muscle, which plays a role in preserving the fetus.
