So i have been really constipated and i think i might be pregnant but i'm not sure will drinking baking soda water effect the baby if i am pregnant.

Just use: a stool softener and increase your water intake. Check a home pregnancy test to see if you are pregnant. Baking soda won't hurt but not sure it will do much to resolve the issue.
