Since the temperatures have dropped where I live, I've started turning on my electric blanket for 15 minutes before bed and turning it off when I get in. Last night on one of my many trips to the loo I was freezing so turned in the blanket, telling myself just for 5 minutes. I fell asleep with it on and woke about an hour later, sweating and completely panicked that I've overheated the baby! I'm 15+3 weeks pregnant. Am I over-reacting? I googled it and there were a lot of people saying how dangerous it is. Surely if it was that dangerous there would be much clearer and louder health warnings on a par with smoking and alcohol?
Any thoughts?
