I'm 23 weeks pregnant, been using an electric blanket for a month. i have just found out that this is not safe for baby, i am scared. what should do?

Wouldn't worry: The chance of this affecting your baby are close to zero. The idea is a myth. Your body controls your internal temperature and that is what baby is exposed to & it stays within an acceptable range.
