Forcing yourself to poop can harm the baby?

I'm no doctor so I don't know if that's causing any harm, but perhaps you can try other ways to get yourself to poop? Things like eating more fibrous foods, prune juice etc. Other than that, I think it's okay to be pooping once every two days or so - poop is actually whatever that's left after our body absorbs nutrients that we need. When we're pregnant, the body needs more nutrients to support two human beings so there may be less waste for the body to get rid of - hence lesser poop :)
