Heating pad question

So, I have back issues and they come and go with pain.  This weekend they hurt so bad, I couldn't bend over or sit and bend to tie my shoes.  I used a heating pad on my back, but didn't even think about it bothering the baby. I avoid any and all heat to my stomach.  Is heat on my lower back okay??

    My doc didn't have any issue with me using a heating pad. She told me that some pain associated with pregnancy would be better treated with cold packs. Since the ligaments/joints are changing & inflamed; cold would ease that pain better than heat. Hope you feel better soon!

    Heat to your back is fine. The doctor told me just do it no longer that 15 mins! Hope it helped!

    My OB said a heating pad on the back is fine, but just not on your stomach.  I have muscle spasms (since high school) so it was not surprise when they started last week!  Hope you feel better:)
