Initial vital signs as follows: Temperature- 36.4 degrees Celsius Heart Rate- 85 beats per minute Respiratory rate- 17 BP- 200/110. Routine urinalysis reveals ++ Protein. Leopold’s maneuver done reveals fundic height of 38cm, longitudinal lie, fetal back felt at the right side, on cephalic presentation, head engaged ⅗. Patient was also attached to an electronic fetal monitor. FHT: 135 bpm, reassuring variability. No deceleration and acceleration noted. Patient felt no contractions at the time of examination. In the ER, JB was given Hydralizine 50 mg SIVP STAT then OD and Magnesium Sulfate 4g IV then 10g IM STAT then 5gm IM q4 hours in alternating buttocks.
