Can pregnant women use a rechargeable hot water bag?

Patient's question:

I have been pregnant for three and a half months. Due to my aversion to cold, I bought a rechargeable hot water bag, the kind that is used after being fully charged and unplugged from the power source. May I ask if I can use it? Will it affect the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, it is best to avoid placing a hot water bag directly on your abdomen or waist during pregnancy. The fetus is extremely sensitive to high temperatures, and the abdomen should not become overheated; maintain a normal temperature.
Bloating during pregnancy is a normal phenomenon. It is recommended that you eat smaller, more frequent meals and maintain a balanced diet, avoiding spicy, cold, and irritating foods. At the same time, pay attention to prenatal care and promptly check with a hospital to ensure the fetus is developing normally.
