No you won't hurt the baby,try upping your water and fibre

That's not a stupid question!

You won't hurt the baby, but you could cause a hemorrhoid to develop if you push too hard. There are a few things you can try that should help:

-stool softeners
-increasing the fiber in your diet (raw fruit & veg, bran, whole grains, or a supplement)
-drink LOTS of water
-prunes/prune juice (yep, they really do work!)

A good sized bowl of bran flakes or all bran will sort this out, I swear by it. Also if you go on to breast feed you can suffer with awful constipation, it can be like passing lumps of glass, but a good sized bowl of bran flakes every mornig and as a snack in the evening for the first few days will keep this under control. I have mine warm with a lil bit of sugar as they aren't the tastiest things in the world lol.
