Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Cook the baby"?!?

Yeah, that sounds sooper sciency and doctory and all that.

He's fine. I swears.

GC, buffista parents might know more, but I believe I read that your body would become extremely hot and uncomfortable as a warning if the baby was in distress from the heat.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, you'd know by the feeling-like-you-were-about-to-faint. I mean the GlamBaby's current environment is a cozy 98.6 - you'd have to have the heating pad set pretty damn high to top that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

GC, from what I've read the concern about heat during pregnancy is based on studies of women who had fevers while they were pregnant. Swedish mothers regular take saunas throughout pregnancy with no ill effects, so brief use of a heating pad is unlikely to cause problems, I'd think. Not to say that you should ignore your OB, but I really doubt you've hurt the baby.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I have heated until my back was sweaty, but I never felt faint or anything. I figured it was on my back, not on my stomach, so it was okay. Not to mention it is one of the only things that actually helps with the pain. Argh. I did a bit of Googling and feel better. Most of the info I've found have said it's okay.

Just finished nummy dinner. Seared tuna over lemon scented quinoa with a tomato, olive and caper relish. Accompanied by a nice merlot. Mmmmmm.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Glamcookie, try having DW take a tennis ball (or soft, rubber ball) and roll it over your back areas that are hurty.

We now have a stand up freezer to put our dead cow in when it's delivered next week. It's going to be nice to have some freezer space for once. Our side-by-side fridge is bullshit for space.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How funny is it?

Hil, that sounds like your doctor was using outdated diagnostic criteria. Would link you but I am on my iPhone and it's a pain.
