      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group; 42 pregnant women with diagnosis of preterm labor will be treated by10 mg nitroglycerine patch that will be applied on abdomen. 1 hour later vaginal exam will be done and uterine contractions will be assessed then another patch will be added .24 hour later two patches will be removed, vaginal exam will be done and uterine contractions will be assessed and patch site redness will be checked, if uterine contractions continues or cervical dilation progress then two another patches will be applied. These2 patches also will be removed after48 hours after randomization. If complication such as severe headache or hypo tension will be occurs at any time, patches will be removed. Intervention 2: Control group; 42 pregnant women with diagnosis of preterm labor will be treated by placebo patch that will be applied on abdomen. 1 hour later vaginal exam will be done and uterine contractions will be assessed then another patch will be added .24 hour later two patches will be removed, vaginal exam will be done and uterine contractions will be assessed and patch site redness will be checked if uterine contractions continues or cervical dilation progress then two another patches will be applied.
