Heating pad on my tummy

18wks now and i have quite a bad low back pain on left side. Will usually put tuam/ heating pad on my back while i want to sleep but accidentally woke up with my stomach facing the heating pad. It’s not hot anymore but quite warm and my stomach was warm too. Will my baby be okay? I’m scared and i feel really bad! #AskingAsAnewMom

Ahhh don't worry lah, mama, accidentally lying on a warm (not hot!) heating pad for a bit won't harm baby, but since you're already feeling anxious about it, just mention it to your doctor at your next check-up or give them a quick call if it'll put your mind at ease, okay? A few of us mummies have had similar panics and our gynae always said as long as it's not hot hot, it's fine, your body also protects baby quite a lot from temperature changes. Next time maybe try putting the heating pad on your side instead, or tuck a pillow between you and it so it's not direct contact, especially if you're worried about falling asleep with it!
