8 weeks pregnant had really bad constipation last night and today my stomach feels really sore and strained from pushing does this harm the baby?

Well protected: Your baby is well protected inside the uterus and contracting the abdominal muscles is not going to do it any harm. I'd advise making sure that you are drinking plenty of water while pregnant and eating a diet with adequate fiber to help with the constipation. Take care.
