My office is FREEZING and Im so cold. I have been using a space heater under my desk to keep my feet warm. I am 5 weeks pregnant...is this okay? I was not sure if it fell in the same category as a sauna or hot tub. Thanks!
I'm 7 weeks and I use a heating pad on my feet when I get into bed. I think it should be fine ? You just cant let your body temp rise too much. I leave it on for about 10-15 min at a time.
Even if you go into a sauna, hot tub, or take a hot shower your body will let you know when you're getting too hot and you'll want to get away from the heat source. Just like if you go outside and it's hot, you seek shelter when you feel too hot. Space heater should be fine.
Good grief, woman...what is your frickin' preoccupation with heat? Seriously, for days now you've been posting on multiple boards about being out in the heat. Now you're worried about a space heater for your feet? (hahaha...rhyming) You are going to have the longest 9 months known to man if you don't stop obsessing like this. And seriously, two words for you....COMMON SENSE. It's really underrated.

Seriously, why do you have 6 posts about overheating? I think you need to stop worrying so much about this. I mean this in all seriousness, from a mom who suffers from OCD...I think you need to go talk to your doctor. If you are already this paranoid at 5 weeks pregnant, the next 35 weeks are going to be pure agony for you. There are meds that are safe to take in pregnancy that can help you, at the very least you need to talk to someone. For the sake of yourself, your marriage, and your future child, get help now. Trust me.

Good luck with your pregnancy!
I would PIP something for you, but I'm too sleepy. However, this post RULES.
Oh man, I just saw who the OP is!
