Heat on belly

I was laying in bed with my laptop on my stomach for 2-2.5 hours. After all that time, I realized the bottom of my laptop was hot. Not just a little warm, it was pretty dang hot. I did have my comforter between my belly and my laptop, but when I felt my belly it was pretty warm and I think the left side was slightly pink (the side of the battery) I’m worried I harmed the baby. I was 5 weeks 5 days that night.

Any guess how likely a neural tube defect or other issue may be from this mistake?
I can hardly function or care for my toddler because I’m worried sick.. going to be a long wait to find out 100%

I may be wrong, but I thought the danger from heat was anything that raises your core body temperature (like a really hot bath). Fwiw, my midwife explained to me there are 7 layers between me and baby (I'd fallen on my belly and was panicking), so I'd be surprised if the heat from laptop battery got through all that muscle and things!

I guess I’m relating it to a heating pad, which they say not to use also. Or atleast not at a high temp or a long period of time.
