Can I use an electric blanket while pregnant?
Is it safe to use an electric blanket while pregnant? Concerns have been raised regarding the use of electric blankets or other heating devices such as heating pads or heated water beds while pregantThere is little scientific evidence to prove one way or the other whether these devices may be harmfulThere are two areas that should be looked at: electromagnetic fields and body temperatureSome long-standing research data suggests that the extremely weak electromagnetic field generated by objects such as electric blankets are biologically harmlessSome studies contradict this claim, suggesting that these weak electromagnetic fields may contribute to changes in stress levels memory lapse, cancer, miscarriage or impaired fetal developmentThese studies, by their own admission, are inconclusive, as they cannot prove that cell damage in test tube experiments is replicated in actual human beingsAnother concern of using heating devices during pregnancy is the actual heat that these products generateIt is possible that raising your body temperature to 101 degrees or higher for an extended period of time may contribute to the risk of miscarriage or neural tube defectsHowever, It is highly unlikely that such a device would raise your body temperature this significantly or for an extended period of time If you are concerned, you should discuss the use of heating devices with your physicianShe may have additional suggestions based on your own unique medical history.
Add/build some way to keep the bottom of the dog house from making direct contact with the cold ground.Maybe add some sheet/foam insulation? Covering it with sheet plastic-stapled down- will help reduce cold drafts.And try to keep his blankets as clean as possible-dirty ones don't insulate as well as clean ones
you know exactly that youngsters are supposed to be kept warm always and that is so cold.imagine yur baby stucked or trapped in the refrigerator he or she will die!!!!
