I'm suffering from quite a bit of back pain during my pregnancy. Is it safe to use a hot water bag or a heating pad on my back to get some relief? I'm worried it might harm the baby.
Oh god, my back was completely gone by month 7! I used a warm bag on my shoulders, but honestly, only a pregnancy pillow and my husband's free massages saved me.
Since I had thyroid issues, I was always visiting my doctor and asked about back pain. She said warm is okay but hot should be avoided, so better ask your gynac in your next checkup.
Back pain is so real. I used to use a very lightly warm water bag on my upper back, but please avoid too much heat near the abdomen or lower back area.
