Can you use a heating pad while pregnant?

Question

I'm 8 weeks along and have been using an electric heating bad on my lower back but can you use it on your stomach?

Answer

I did with the round ligament pain. It was a lifesaver!

Answer

They say on low for 20 min is fine. I got one of those microwave bed buddies that have like sand in them. You can make it to your desired warmness and I can go to sleep with it on my back and not worry about forgetting to turn it off cause it just gets cool. It also kinda moods to you bc of the sand so it's pretty comfy.

Answer

Def not on your tummy.  I personally wouldn't use one at all while pregnant.  They can get too
Hot.  Also if you insist on using one, don't use for more than 20 min at a time.

Answer

Please dont put it on your stomach.  I love hot showers but I dont even let the hot water run on my tummy. Extended Exposure to heat can cause neurological problems for your baby.

Answer

No on your tummy

Answer

Not on your stomach. Anywhere else is fine.

Answer

Not on tour stomach but anywheres else for sure. I've had to use one on my lower back/butt area to help my sciatica. I've also used it on my ribs and my neck and I've had to do it to my knee too cuz when I got sciatica I did it by slipping in my tub and so I twisted my knee and torn the muscle in my thigh and it helped a lot.

Answer

My doc said it's fine to use because it isn't heating your whole body it doesn't change your core temp so I used for my stomach and sides and was big relief
