Pregnant women diagnosed with pre-eclampsia with severe features will be treated with magnesium sulfate to prevent seizures. Magnesium sulfate will be administered according to My Duc Hospital's protocol for treatment of pre-eclampsia (a loading dose of 4.5g given intravenously in 20 min, followed by a maintenance dose at an infusion rate of 1.5g/h). Serum magnesium concentrations will be measured before the loading dose and 0.5h, 1h, 2h, and every 6 hours thereafter.
