Can you sleep on an electric blanket while pregnant?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it. So I came here to consult. Can you get pregnant while sleeping on an electric blanket?

Doctor's answer:

As long as it's not powered on, it's okay to sleep on it. You can turn it on to warm it up before bed and then turn it off before sleeping, so there won't be any electromagnetic field. However, while using an electric heating pad, it's important to drink more water to prevent dehydration, which can lead to dry skin. Generally, doctors recommend that patients with prenatal examination risks should maintain a balanced diet and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Additionally, having a comfortable environment is also beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
