Guest guest Posted September 4, 2001 Report Share Posted September 4, 2001 OK, I just met with a doula client who is also a nurse. Although she is very pro-non-medicated birth, she appears to be leary of anything natural/alternative otherwise. She got quite upset when I suggested taking calcium/magnesium combo to help slow/stop pre-term contrax... She said that it is very dangerous for the heart and you should only take calcium under the supervision of a doc and that you should always know where your electrolytes are if you are considering taking calcium. Can anyone educate me here? I took cal/mag with both pg's to stop my pre-term labor... And that was ok'd by an OB and an ND with my first pg and ok'd by and MD and my m/w with the second, without running any tests at all... I also was prescribed to take cal/mag at bedtime to relax me, since I had such chaotic dreams... Sindeasindeahttp://sindea5.homestead.com/home.html Driving Washington nuts since 1991...
