heat on my stomach?!

mcintyr1 · May 2011

I just realized that i'd been sitting in my arm chair with my laptop on my stomach for almost an hour. All of a sudden i realized that it was really hot and that kind of thing is probably terrible for the baby. I know there's nothing i can do about it now, and everything's probably fine, but jesus... why didn't i think of that sooner?!

I know what you mean - I forget a lot too

I have read that the heat can be bad. Just gotta try our best not to let it happen again.

I either put a throw pillow on my lap if I'm sitting or I put the laptop on the tops of my legs if I'm stretching out on the couch. But, I screw up sometimes, too!

catch2010 yeah i should start doing that. Before i got pregnant i was always afraid that the pillow would keep the air from circulating and could cause my laptop to overheat. Have you had trouble with that?

i'm just hoping that my ample layer of fat was enough to shield my baby from any damage lol.

I have a little 'lapdesk' I use. It is soft on the bottom like a pillow but it has a hard surface on top, that way air still circulates. I got my first in college and I love it. I use it for when I eat dinner alone in front of the t.v., I use it for writing on, and in college I used to even straighten my hair with it because I could put my flat iron right on my lap with no burns. You can get them at Bed Bath and Beyond or Barnes and Noble for 10-20$.
