No it is not safe, do not take any tablets that have not been prescribed by your doctor. Try to eat a healthy diet which is rich in magnesium if you need this supplement.

Anything you take during your pregnancy, needs to be approved by your doctor. To much of anything can cause severe problems. If you are taking them you need to stop and talk to your doctor on your next visit.

Yes, magnesium supplements are not only safe during pregnancy, but are often recommended. Magnesium can help to build and repair body tissue, and if you don't get magnesium during your pregnancy, it can lead to a number of birth defects.
