Heating pad during early labor okay?

I swear if these contractions don't become 5 mins apart in the next day - I am going to lose it.

Anyways - I feel like I heating pad on my back would help ease some of the pain. Are any of you aware of risks of using one during labor? Could it slow down labor?

TIA

    I don't know of any risks but I used a heating pad and back massager for my first labor and my labor was pretty quick.  Best of luck to you today!!!
