Winters here are freezing and i use an electric blanket every night to stay warm. Now that im pregnant my mom said avoid it because of the heat. Im in my 2nd trimester, is it actually unsafe?
My pregnancy app actually had a section on this, and it generally advises caution or avoidance. The concern is mainly about overheating your core body temperature, which isn't good for the baby, and some studies mention EMFs. Best to use alternatives.
Honestly, I just used a really thick duvet and extra blankets for warmth during winter. Electric blankets, I heard, can generate some heat and maybe EMFs, so I avoided them just to be safe. Better to stick to simple, old-school ways, na?
Beti, garmi ke liye electric blanket achcha nahi hota. Doctor log bolte hain ki yeh sab cheezein theek nahi hain garbhawati aurat ke liye. Achcha hai ki garam paani se naha lo, aur mote kambal odho. Woh zyada surakshit hai.
I actually asked my doctor about this because I get really cold in winter. She advised against it due to the increased body temperature and potential for EMF exposure. I felt it was better not to risk anything, so I just layered up.
I was too hot all the time with two babies inside me to even think about an electric blanket, haha! But on a serious note, most doctors advise against it due to the heat and potential electromagnetic fields. Better to be safe and stick to regular blankets.
