Electric Blankets

Is it safe to sleep with an electric blanket while I am pregnant? I have had a lot of people tell me it is not a good idea to do this. I would appreciate feedback from anyone on this matter. Thanks!

Hi baby,

keeping your electric blanket on the lowest setting during the night will be fine. Only use the high setting to pre heat the bed before getting in. The only thing to remember is not to let your body get too hot, your babies temperature will always be a little higher than yours. The same goes with hot showers and baths, keep them at comfortable temperatures and everything will be fine. Don't worry I can't wait to have my bubby and start enjoying those hot steamy baths on a cold winters night.

Regards,

suzy
