Description

Magnesium is one of those unsung heroes of pregnancy care. In this episode of MamaDoc BabyDoc, we break down how magnesium supplementation can help with everyday pregnancy discomforts—like headaches, leg cramps, constipation, and insomnia—and why it may be worth asking your doctor about. We also take a deeper dive into the role of magnesium in the hospital setting, where it's used to treat serious complications like preeclampsia and preterm labor. Tune in for a practical, evidence-based look at when magnesium can be a simple helper at home and when it becomes a life-saving therapy in pregnancy.
