Magnesium is used to prevent seizures in women suffering from preeclampsia.

I don’t think it prevents preeclampsia or prevents stroke hemorrhagic or ischemic, liver rupture, liver damage, placental abruption, kidney damage, pulmonary edema, pulmonary embolism, disseminated intravascular coagulation, HELLP syndrome (Hemolysis - destruction of red blood cells, Elevated Liver enzymes, Low Platelets - no ability to clot, hemmorhage) or anything else in severe preeclampsia’s fatal toolkit - just seizures.

.....The search results also suggest that oral magnesium supplementation during pregnancy may significantly reduce the risk of preeclampsia. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that oral magnesium supplementation during pregnancy reduced the risk of preeclampsia by 24% (risk ratio: 0.76, 95% confidence interval: 0.59 to 0.98, P = 0.04).....
