Congrats!! And I'm super impressed that Fen remembered me!! 
No worries, magnesium is super safe during pregnancy. You can't imagine how much I was taking near the end!!!! You think the C is bad now, just wait  HOWEVER, I want to REALLY encourage you to breastfeed after your baby is born. I don't know if it's something you've decided yet, but DO give it a try! Not only is it the best, most amazing thing you can do for your baby, it's practically a cure for IBS (and yes, there is a scientific explanation that has to do with the hormones released during breastfeeding). You'll be amazed at how it practically goes into remission. I haven't needed magnesium at all while I've been breastfeeding - and we're going on 14 months now. I've heard similar stories from other moms on this board.
If you do buy the Natural Calm (and in my experience, that is better than any magnesium pill you can buy), make sure to NOT get the kind marketed for expectant moms. It contains extra calcium, which obviously won't help your C!
Good luck to you! You're on an amazing journey!!
