Have i hurt my baby??

Yesterday I had an awful upset stomach and took to my bed with a hot water bottle (not too hot to touch but still V. hot) I woke up 3 hours later having rolled onto the bottle with a really hot belly. I'm 13 weeks pregnant and my sister has told me this is really bad as you should avoid hot baths, hot water bottles as they can cause brain damage..
I'm now worried sick that I've hurt my baby.
Any advice

I also had lost of hot baths too when pregnant, i need them for back ache and rib ache.

If you are really really worried, just have a little chat with your midwife when you next see her, she'll put your mind at rest.

at 13 weeks your baby is still mostly down in your pelvis, not up where your stomach is. I'm sure its fine. i wondered about the same thing sunbathing at 7 months in jamaica, and that was hot! surely same thing?
