Magnesium: Congrats on your pregnancy. I'm sure your ob-gyn doctors are watching your BP carefully. Magnesium both in foods and supplements may help normalize your bp. Chocolate contains magnesium, & is okay for a treat -- but the best food sources are dark green vegetables, nuts, legumes, fish, and cereals. http://tinyurl.com/m6z4epv for supplements, magnesium glycinate or taurate 250-400 mg/day.
