    I was taking cal/mag and potassium(very small dose) so harmless. It helped mine heaps. Nothing worse than being woken in the middle of the night with leg cramps! That is why the bananas are great cos they have high potassium. Mine was recommended by a naturopath.

    I know this is old but i just wanted to write anyway in case someone else reads it
    Magnesium magnesium magnesium.

    Epsom Salts, magnesium oil and chelated magnesium capsules!
    With my DS i had the worst insomnia, leg cramps and had mild pe......all are related to mag deficiency. in fact nearly everyone is magnesium deficient!! I also craved bananas something shocking - a sign that your body is craving mag!

    magnesium and calcium work together in the body and need to be in balance. more often than not we have a society that is giving their bodies too much calcium and no magnesium.
    After DS's pregnancy, with my DD I took magnesium and i only had one or two leg cramps the entire pregnancy and had no insomnia or pe.
