Do I need a calcium/magnesium supplement?

Question

So I'm 9 weeks  and am currently taking Baby and me 2 prenatals. But they don't inclue calcium and magnesium? Do I need to buy another supplement with it? Can someone give me recommendations?

Answer

I use a magnesium powder that you mix in water. Some friends recommended it to help with leg cramps. I think it makes a difference! But my OB never told me to take it.

Answer

Magnesium is a super mineral and should always be taken anyway

Answer

Usual my doc gives calcium from second trimester. Magnesium is only given if you are at risk of high bp. My bp is usually low during pregnancy so I am never given magnesium.

Answer

You should be taking calcium at some point but your obgyn should prescribe it
