Magnesium and Pregnancy

​

Pregnancy is an amazing mircale occuring whiin the female body. Changes? You bet! Your baby will grow 10,00 times larger in th first month of your pregnancy. Ten Thousand! That level of growth calls for osme serious resources from your body. Guess what mineral you will need to be aware of during pregnancy (and why do doctors only rarely study essential minerals or nutrition)?

Magnesium is what helps your body repair, maintain and build tissue. This becomes especially important when growing another body inside yourself. Medical studies have shown that Magnesium supplement during pregnany can provide an amazing number of benefits, from preventing preeclampsia to building strong bones and even preventing infant mortality. Calcium is responsible for all muscular contraction int he body through the actions of the main proteins in the signalling apparatus. 

Relaxation on the other hand is largely responsible for the relaxing of the muscles.

There is signifiacant scientific evidence that adequate Magnesium levels PREVENTS preamature contractions of the uterus.

Many people recommend Magnesium to help with morning sickness and overall well-being during prenancy, Another of the latest fads is bone broth.

So obviously your baby needs Magnesium during the pregnancy.... where do you think it will get it from?

Naturally, from the mother. So YOUR Magnesium levels need ti be kept up as well during pregnancy. Magnesium deficency can manifets as fatigue, aches and pains or cramping, as well as insomnia and a cloudy mind. So if you are pregnant, or planning a pregnancy in the next twelve months, Dr Carolyn Dean recommends building your body's Magnesium levels. We recommened using the oils daily on your lower back and on the tops of your feet before sleep. In the third trimester we recommend only using on the feet at night.
