Hello Moms to be,

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and i've been having very horrible cramping in my tummy, back and legs that i sometimes cant sleep at night, so i've been using hot packs under my back to ease the pain which quite worked very good for me, but i've been told that its not safe to use hot packs in the lower back!!! is it trueee????
