Brief Summary: there is a standard magnesium sulphate protocol and newer protocols for pre-eclampsia, we need to make a trial to find the best protocol
Detailed Description: The aim of our study is to assess the comparative effects of three regimens for the administration of magnesium sulfate when used for the care of women with severe pre-eclampsia.

The study will include 240 pregnant women presenting to the casualty unit with criteria of severe preeclampsia in the form of one of the criteria:-

* Systolic blood pressure ≥ 160.
* Diastolic blood pressure ≥ 110.
* Proteinuria \> +2 by dip stick.
* Presence of alarming symptoms (headache, visual disturbance, epigastric pain, vaginal bleeding).
* Fetal growth restriction (IUGR).

After obtaining an informed consent the patients will be subjected to the following:

* Careful history taking including age, parity, gestational age.
* Complete physical examination and assessment of the blood pressure.
* Urine analysis by dipstick.
* All women will take initial MgSO4 (6 grams of MgSO4 on 250 ml ringer solutions over 20 minutes by IV drip) .

Using Random Number Table, the sample size will be divided into three categories:-

* Category A : 80 patients given full dose of maintenance MgSO4 (4 grams of MgSO4 on 250 ml ringer solution over 4 hours every 4 hours by IV drip for 24 hours) in the postpartum period.
* Category B : 80 patients given abbreviated doses of MgSO4 (4 grams of MgSO4 on 250 ml ringer solution over 4 hours every 4 hours by IV drip only for 12 hours) in the postpartum period.
* Category C : 80 patients who will take only loading dose of MgSO4 (6 grams of MgSO4 on 250 ml ringer solutions over 20 minutes) with no postpartum maintenance sulfate.

Inclusion criteria:

* Pregnant females ≥20 weeks of gestation.
* Pregnant females with criteria of severe pre-eclampsia.
* Single or multi-fetal pregnancy.
* Primigravida or Multigravida.

Exclusion criteria:

* Pregnant females \< 20 weeks gestation.
* Pregnant females with history of epilepsy.
* Pregnant females with diabetes.
* Pregnant females with chronic hypertension.
* Pregnant females with renal disease.
