∙ 13y agoNo. If you look at just about any box of Epsom salts, there are clear directions for dissolving a small amount in water and drinking it to relieve mild constipation. I too was wondering if this was still safe to do during pregnancy--not because I want to miscarry, but because I want to relieve some of the discomfort that comes with being pregnant.
If you try to miscarry on purpose you have to see a doctor and have a safe and legal abortion and not experiment at home. It can kill you.
