Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for three and a half months. Due to feeling cold, I bought a rechargeable hot water bag, the type that is used after being fully charged and the plug is pulled out. May I 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 the abdomen or waist during pregnancy due to the high sensitivity of the fetus to high temperatures. The abdomen should not overheat and should be kept at a normal temperature.Bloating during pregnancy is a normal phenomenon. It is recommended that you eat small, 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.
