No harm to you or the baby. For constipation - You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!

A single saline enema will not harm your fetus. Consider increasing the amount of fiber in your diet if you’re feeling constipated. Good luck with your pregnancy.
