Forcing yourself to poop can harm the baby?

Hi, I am 9 weeks pregnant and feel too much constipation( two days- one time). Sorry for this kind of words. When I go for washroom, I am naturally forcing myself to poop. Is it safe for baby? I am really afraid that kind of act hurt my baby inside. Please let me know.

I don’t know but I think u can try taking some probiotics (not harmful to baby products) and eat more fruits & veggies more easily for you to poop. During pregnancy, constipation is often an issue for many mums. Drink plenty of water too to keep body hydrate.

Thanks, Celiss. I informed my gynae and he gave me stool softener. I also drink more water and eat fruits.
