A member asked:
I'm about 6 weeks pregnant. is it safe to use an electric blanket on a low setting? i heard magnetic fields could be dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Caution...: I wouldn't recommend an electric blanket during pregnancy. There have been some risks associated with using an electric blank in the first 8 weeks of pregnancy and in the last 4 weeks of pregnancy. There is some controversy about this but in pregnancy an abundance of caution is prudent. Best wishes!
