when should I take the electric blanket off the bed?

[bakedpotato]

don't want to electrocute myself or fuse a perfectly good lekky blanket, come to that when/if waters break at night.

8 wks to go, and it's so bally cold! any opinions?

I would take it off now, sorry. Mine broke with 3 weeks to go. YOu could try a heavy duty waterproof sheet. Get a few hot water bottles. I had about 8 wks to go this time last year. Its so exciting. TBH I was so huge I didn't need an electric blanket as I was one enormous walking hot water bottle. Good luck with the birth, I am getting quite misty eyed.

the blue face is for cold, by the way
right, off it comes
