This is my 3rd baby and I've always been told no heating pad by my ob. Use icey got or bengay. Although the smell makes me sick....
Hi im 18w2d and my doctor told me a heating pad is k to use I have horrible pain n my back and the heat relieves it he also said massages are good too...hope that helps
From everything I've read its fine to use them. Directly on your stomach may not be the best placement if it is too hot but you should be ok. I would still ask my dr about it but I think it's ok.
I've been using the heated seats in my car when my back hurts... 23wks and no issues.
