A member asked:

Hi, is it safe to use a hot water bottle during pregnancy and would it affect the baby in any way?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Safe: It is safe to use a hot water bottle occasionally during pregnancy. You don't want to do anything that will really raise your core body temperature, like taking really hot baths or using a hot tub. but a water bottle should be fine.

I have a 2 month old baby. I had cold sores ever since my childhood. I also had it 3 times during my pregnancy and I got it now. I'm worried since I read it's dangerous in young babies. Is my baby protected w/ my antibodies if I had it my whole life?
