Didnot realise no hot water botle - got really hot last night ;(

[gorgeousgirl]

Now I'm worried I've done some damage I was freezing when I went to bed, fell asleep and woke up boiling a couple of hours later. Was browsing the Internet this morning and started reading about the dangers of getting hot early on causing birth defects. Now I'm worried.

Sorry dont know why Im posting really, just need to get it off my chest

erm... bottle

I had IVF 8 years ago and had bad stomach cramps and was advised by the hopsital to lay a hot water bottle on my tummy. My 7yr DS is now running around the house chasing the dog !!

Thanks, that was the sort of response I was hoping for to cheer me up...

I often used a hot water bottle when I was pregnant, however when baby arrives, don't follow my husbands example - when I asked him to pop a hot water bottle in her crib to warm it up before we put her in, he put it under her head as a pillow!!! No damage done except to him for being such a prat... All the best for your pregnancy gorgeousgirl x

Don't worry. I posted the same thing a few weeks ago and got some great replies from people. I also called my GP in a panic and she reassured me. I did go on to have a MMC BUT the baby had stopped growing a few days before I had the hot water bottle panic, so it wasn't connected at all. I wish now I hadn't been up the whole night making myself sick with worry when the poor little thing had stopped developing a few days before. Best of luck with your pregnancy. x

Thank you Boos. Sorry to hear about your MMC
