Using heating pads while pregnant???
I know thta you should not use an electric blanket while you are pregnant. I have pulled a back muscle and am curious about using a heating pad. Can you safely use them while pregnant??
Try asking about the Icy Hot rub also.
Thanks for getting back to me. I remember hearing that the electrical current in electric blankets can cause harm to babies so that is my concern with the heating pad. I will be calling my ob in the morning to double check.
i used one for my lower back and my hip. i didnt let it get too hot or use it for a long period of time.
Check with your doctor. There may be a concern if the heating pad could cause a rise in body temperature.
