22 CAN I PUT A HOT PAD ON MY STOMACH?

-

Too much heat isn’t a hot idea when you’re pregnant. It can raise your body temperatur­e too quickly (anything above 38.9°C is potentiall­y harmful), and can be dangerous for your growing baby. You can still use a heating pad as long as you put a towel around it first.
