Can I take magnesium while pregnant?

Question

I was wondering if I can take it and what kind would be more recommended.

Answer

Yes, my midwives recommended this for me and it helped so much.

Answer

I asked my doctor about using Natural Calm magnesium, for leg cramps. She said yes. Just start at 1/2 tsp because it can give you diarrhea if you take too much to start.

Answer

Yes

Answer

Definitely. Also, if you’re taking iron, that can constipate you, so also taking magnesium can help keep you regular.

Answer

Yes there are many kinds though. Mommypotamus has a great article about what each kind is good for. I used topical magnesium spray to help with morning sickness.

Answer

Yes, it’s supposed to help with some symptoms like restless leg syndrome.

Answer

Perhaps ask your doctor?
