A member asked:
I found out yesterday that i am pregnant; about 2.5 weeks. i've been using a heated mattress pad. i am afraid i hurt the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Baby is OK: Our bodies are quite good at regulating the internal temperature and at 2.5 weeks the baby would be well insulated from excessive heat or cold. It is probably best to just use the heater before going to bed so your body can moderate its temperature better during the night.
