Magnesium citrate capsules for constipation

sui

I currently use these caps, around 5-6 a day at 170mg each, to help prevent constipation. This is a high quality supplement that taken in high doses, makes you have a bowel movement the next day. It is like a laxative effect. Anyone else do this or have comments if this is dangerous to the fetus.

Wondering if this is considered to be the same as the cateogry c magnesium over the counter product found in the laszxtive aisle?

Thanks

I don't know about your question, but for constipation, been using Aloe Vera (I take the caplets...much easier). That has been working great...sometimes the iron in pre-natal vitamins can cause constipation.
