Heated pillows

My back pain is awful due to previous spinal injury- what are people opinions on heated blankets or heated cuddle cushion ? Are they safe to use when pregnant? I was told hot water bottles are a big No 😕

I have been sleeping with my heated blanket pretty much all night and my baby is healthy

Raised maternal temperature is the concern with hot baths/ hot water bottles etc. as it *can* cause neuro issues. I’ve been using my heated blanket every night I turn it up to preheat and then on a low setting when I get in so it’s warm for my back but not too hot for long. Midwife said not a concern this way!

Thank you! My back pain is so bad so I’m just hoping some heat might help my whilst I’m sitting on the sofa as I just can’t get comfy my backs going hot and tingly it gets that painful sometimes 🤦🏽‍♀️

@Shannon I hear you 😩 I wouldn’t put it too hot and stick to like 10 mins at a time. Internet says NHS even says 10-20 minutes.

@Leonie killer isn’t it🤣 I’m dreading getting any bigger🤦🏽‍♀️ Perfect thank you so much 🩷xx
