Heat Pad

[lynzgary]

Im nearly 38 weeks pregnant and have really bad pelvic/vagina pain. Is it safe to sit on a heat pad to take the pain away?

The nurse told me heating pad but just keep it away from belly. If you Google pubic symphysis disfunction there is a video on self treatment that helped a lot. I'm only 36 weeks and have been going to the gym until Tuesday... I hope this isn't here to stay!

I still use heatpacks this is my 3rd pregnancy.  I limit how hot and don't put it on my belly. I have been known to sit on many times. :-)

Thank you :)

I'd sit on an ice pack :) I have pretty bad vagina soreness too and I think cool would feel better than warm. I'm sure warm is ok just as long as you don't sit on it too long.
