    As the title says- just wondering if anyone knows if thermacare heat pads are safe to use while pregnant? I'm really struggling with backache. Someone suggested these, but not sure if safe? X

    I think you can providing they're not medicated ones. I'm pretty sure that's what H said when I sent him out for some a few months ago. He ended up coming back empty handed because he thought I should consult my GP first. I ended up using a hot water bottle which really helped.

    I think I am going to get an appointment with GP next week. Tried today but couldnt get in.

    I will see if I can get some patches on prescription.  I have been using a wheat bag or hot water bottle which has helped up to now. It seems to be getting worse and i'm getting no relief from it. It is so uncomfortable. Sad

    I was like that a few weeks ago. Did you say it's your lower back? My mum thought it was perhaps how baby was positioned.
