Heating pads, while pregnant? Yay or nay?

Question

With cramps and lower back pains being some of my symptoms, I want to relieve the pain without taking medicine. Are heating pads ok to use? Half my friends say yay and the other half say nay. What do you think?

Answer

I've heard to put warm water in a water bottle and put that where your cramps are. Taking a warm bath worked for me and drinking LOTS of water!  But if you do a warm bath, make sure you don't get too warm and don't stay in too long.

Answer

I use a hot water bottle on  my back so far baby is ok 11w3d and baby is still fine heard hb this morning on Doppler ☺️

Answer

Ive used a heating pad & have never had any problems

Answer

Looks like everyone has a different opinion on this one... When I was pregnant with my 1st, I used them for bad cramps. My OB told me to do 20 min on and then at least an hour off. Hope this helps.
