A member asked:

For the past 3 days since my ivf transfer, i've used a laptop on my lap on a pillow regularly. just noticed it gets my lap & pillow hot. is this bad?

Bad for the pillow: It is bad for the pillow, but not your potential pregnancy as the pillow absorbs the excess heat of the laptop.
