Can I use a heating pad during early pregnancy?

Question

pregnancy?" /> It is a corn one that you warm up in the microwave not an electric pad.

Answer

They are safe to use because they cool down eventually and don't get too hot or else you wouldn't be able to pull it out of the microwave. I use one every night. Sometimes on my back or my ribs where she's kicking me but lately it's been on my hip and thigh where my sciatica are acting up. I'm thankful mine is so long that I can sorta wrap it down and around.

Answer

Hot pads especially the corn or rice ones are fine. Just use sparingly and don't leave it there all day long. Heat is only dangerous when you are raising your core body temperature. A too hot bath could actually be more dangerous than a warm compress on your belly.

Answer

I know they say not to use one during your two week wait,I don't know exactly why but I'd ASSUME it would be the same for during pregnancy. NOT 100% on this one
