“…88 Pregnancy following jejunoileal bypass may be associated with severe hypoMg, hypocalcaemia and hypokalaemic paralysis. 89 A review of 179 pregnancies in mothers who had previously undergone jejunoileal bypass for obesity found no increased rate of congenital malformations or perinatal mortality, though lower birth weight, shorter gestational age and a higher proportion of small-for-dates infants than expected occurred. 90 It is possible these mothers may have had other nutritional deficiencies that led to fetal growth restriction.…”

Hypomagnesaemia is common in pregnancy, particularly in developing countries and low-income communities. Despite the frequent therapeutic use of magnesium in pregnancy, and the evidence regarding the association of hypomagnesaemia with adverse pregnancy outcomes in animal studies, it remains unclear whether hypomagnesaemia is associated with complications in human pregnancy. Three case reports of pregnancies complicated by moderate-severe hypomagnesaemia are presented and magnesium physiology in pregnancy is discussed. The evidence as to whether hypomagnesaemia may represent a direct cause, a consequence of other disease processes or an epiphenomenon in adverse pregnancies outcomes is reviewed.

The following case report reviews the obstetrical course of a patient who had undergone a jejunoileal bypass six years prior to her pregnancy. Documentation of hypomagnesemia and parenteral treatment of this condition are reported along with the successful outcome. Bypass procedures may result in biochemical aberrations which affect pregnancy outcome. The implications of such surgery is reviewed as well as its current status.
