can a laptop on your knees affect my baby????

I know this may be a silly question but I just wanted to know if I had the laptop on my belly or knees can it harm my baby.  The reason I ask this is when I had it on my tummy or knees I kind of had little crampy pains (not severe at all just tingles) so I decided to put it on a chair.  Is it at all possible that it could hurt my baby or am I just being over anxious.  I am 9 weeks pregnant if that helps.

Thank you heaps for your replies

I had the same uncomfortable feeling with the laptop. Don't know that it's harmful but I'd say if it doesn't feel good than don't do it ;) I'm using a laptop lap desk now at least until my belly gets in the way of that lol.

Hey
Thanks for that.  I have stopped putting it on my legs.  I am now starting to think maybe I got little tingles because I was in an uncomfortable position.  But please let me know what the doc says.  Goodluck with your ultrasound today

I honestly am not sure but my OB said that I could continue to use the tanner while preggers so I am assuming the little bit of heat from the laptop will not affect your baby. Dont worry, I definitely stopped using the tanner. I'd rather be safe then sorry. I am also guilty of using the laptop on my belly and legs. I go to the doc today so I will ask them for you :)  Dont worry, your gonna have your lil baby in your arms in no time!
