Natural Calm - Magnesium, Constipation

mgillon · March 2015

I've always had horrible C and worked it out with probiotics in the past - now that I'm pregnant I'm backed up worse than ever! I'm SO nervous to take anything the first trimester so I've been relying on prunes & prune juice which hasn't done anything.

A friend who just had a baby was taking Natural Calm magnesium supplement at night while pregnant and said it worked miracles for C. Waiting to hear from my doctor - but has anyone else taken this while pregnant? Is it safe??

Yes! It's really great for constipation and also to build up magnesium levels to help after birth to ward off postpartum. I read somewhere that if you have low levels of magnesium then postpartum could be worse. Also helps me with headaches

Thank you so much! I plan on trying a small dose tonight. Fingers crossed!

I've taken it for almost a year and had great results! I've continued through pregnancy. Definitely start small then work your way up to the 2 tsp. it should help! (But call your dr to be on the safe side...)

My doctor told me I could use a stool softener but I may I start this calm magnesium you guys are mentioning

Magnesium also can help w sleep and anxiety. It is a wonderful supplement:) I had major anxiety for almost 2.5 years after my daughter was born. Docs only prescribed me Xanax and I did try a antidepressant once that screwed up my stomach and decided to stop since I knew I wanted to get pregnant again. Well, no doc checked my magnesium levels ever but after taking the supplement, I noticed a major difference. Helps with so many things going on in the body. Definitely recommend for the above and for constipation as well:)

Yup. Magnesium is a wonder supplement. I take it and the calm with calcium. Great stuff

Good morning ladies! Where can I find this??? I have been suffering with constipation as well

Just got the okay from the doc! I took 1/2 tsp last night and slept pretty well. Fingers crossed for the C to ease up. I bought mine at a local healthy type grocery store but I know they sell it on amazon as well.

I take it nightly for restless legs. Definitely works! And definitely agree with whoever said take a small dose and work your way up!

I buy Natural Calm magnesium from Amazon.

Yes! It's a-ok to take & helped me. I'll probably be taking it again today.

Yup Amazon or a health food store should sell it. You might want to consider the kind with added calcium b/c it's important to have the right balance of magnesium and calcium.
