A member asked:

I'm18 weeks pregnant, today i let a hot bowl of soup sit on my belly for 10 minutes while watching tv (while eating) . will this impact the baby?

No: You should not purposefully raise your body temperature significantly, hence the recommendation against hot tubs. This brief local exposure with hot soup will not cause any damage.

No: Baby is insulated pretty inside your boody & such external events are not a problem.
