I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
It is safe to eat soaked almond or any other nuts in pregnancy.
You should drink plenty of water and eat diet rich in fibre like leafy vegetables and fresh fruits to get relief from constipation.
Also, you can take isaphgula husk to get relief from constipation.
You should avoid tea, coffee, excessive fatty food and include more milk and milk products in your diet.
You should work normally so that the digestion is adequate.
