Went in for contractions at 24 weeks 5 days. still contracting on and off 2 days later. sit still or call my ob? will plain magnesium help?

Call your OB: Contractions do not necessarily mean labor. BUT, the only way to know is to get checked. You would have to take enough Mag to cause diarrhea to come even close to a blood level to affect your contractions. See your OB
