Excerpts from Magnesium During Pregnancy. How Important is it?...

"The most obvious and severe symptom of deficiency of magnesium in pregnancy is the HUGE problem of preeclampsia or eclampsia- also known as 'Toxemia of Pregnancy'. About 7% of pregnant women end up diagnosed with eclampsia or preeclampsia. The symptoms of swelling in the legs, fatigue and sometimes dangerously high blood pressure can range from a mild annoyance to a deadly problem that forces you to have an emergency induced labor, a ruptured placenta or even a stroke!"

"Earlier signs of the problem start with the EXTREMELY common pregnancy problems of:

Migraines and headaches
Back Pain
Muscle Cramps
Constipation
Irritability
Muscle Tightness
Insomnia

Magnesium is like a natural relaxant, and so deficiencies can cause muscular and neurologic irritability; being sufficient can help everything to relax. While not ALL of these problems are due to magnesium deficiency, many of them are and could have been prevented with adequate magnesium intake during pregnancy."
