Is it safe to use a hot water bottle? I’m 23 weeks and recently getting bad back pain. I’m not sure if it’s from the pregnancy pillow or just the weight of baby getting bigger but just need some advice on what helps.

use a sock and fill it with rice!! microwave for 1-2 minutes and rest it on you’re back, the longer the sock the better!!

I’ve been using a hot water bottle for sciatica for weeks now! Absolutely fine x

Im 39 weeks and ive been using my hot water bottle all throughout pregnancy, especially in these last days the warm bottle seems to be the only thing to help with really bad back pains
If you are concerned you can just use slightly cooler water (ie not boiling) or add an extra layer of clothes/ cloth as an extra precaution

I used a hot water bottle the whole time I was pregnant just not directly on the bump!

In my last pregnancy I used one even in the summer because it was the only thing that helped my spd!

I was told no hot water bottles or heating pads

I use a hot water bottle but the advice I’ve read is that if you’d be happy to give it to a child then it’s a safe temperature - so not too hot and make sure it’s got a cover x

I used a hot water bottle when I had uncomfortable hip pain. Just made sure it wasn’t on my bump and didn’t use it for long xx

I use a hot water bottle every night
