hearing pad?

[koyama83]

I'm 6 weeks along and have cramps. Has anyone asked their doc if it's OK to use a heating pad? Tylenol is OK but heating pads work best for me for when I'm not pregnant and have menstrual cramps.

Thanks :) lol I made a typo "hearing" pad ...

I was told to keep the heat away from my Torsi.  Period.  I always used a heating pad before I got pregnant, but won't touch it now.  Anything that raises the body temperature too much is dangerous for the babies development (what my doctor said).

I use a heatibgg oad on my back frequently. I use the med setting, for about 10 minutes. You just don't want to overheat your belly, or core temp.

I use one for my back. Like someone else said not longer then 15-20 minutes at a time and on the lowest setting

My doctor told me it was ok to use on my back just on the lowest setting for 10-15 minutes tops.

Oh yeah don't do that :/ that can't be good for the baby.

I was told not to put a heating pad on my belly because the heat causes the amniotic fluid to bubble and overheat. To be sure, ask your doctor.
