No, your constipatio: Doesnt affect the baby. Drink a lot of fluids, eat foods with high fiber content and take stool softeners. If you dont start your symptoms may get worse with time.

Constipation: Constipation in pregnancy is common and is not fun. It's not been shown to be a risk factor for premature labor or any trouble with the fetus. Push fluids, plenty of natural fiber - fruits/veggies. Miralax (polyethylene glycol) powder can be tried as well.
