May seem a stupid question re a hot plate

Hi all I was eating my dinner tonight and just decided to have on sofa and knees up and rated my plate on me . I suddenly realised maybe it was too hot and could hurt the baby. Am I going mad ?

Yes. Relax. Your baby will be fine.

Baby will be fine. They're very well insulated. Even the warnings about hot baths are from an over abundance of caution and inability to morally research.

Thanks that’s a good oversight . I thought maybe I was overreacting but was worth an ask . Just suddenly dawned on me as the plate was hot

Even the advice about a hot bath is probably more so the mother doesn’t overheat! It’s very easy to get wedged in a bath when you’re heavily pregnant too 😆

I hope your dinner was lovely, @Amylittlelegs

Thank you I know it sounded so silly but always worth an ask x
