Yes I took a magnesium and calcium combo and I woke up feeling sooo good! You just reminded me to order more!

I've been using a magnesium spray from H&B. It doesn't work as well as the supplements, but it still provides muscle relief. I decided to opt for the spray, because the vitamins I'm taking already have magnesium and I didn't want to overtake the daily allowed dose.

Agreed, I kept waking up with horrible cramps in my left leg and it stopped after I started taking magnesium

Will it work if I’m taking multivitamin? Or does it need a higher dose of it?

Definitely second this, it’s changed my life. Recommending it to everyone, pregnant or not!

Magnesium helps me with everything pregnancy related. It’s kept me regular and helps with sleeping!

Does it help with the other bits of pain we get?

Magnesium has soooooo many benefits especially for pregnancy and postpartum. It’s crazy how it’s not recommended
