Oh, congratulations on your pregnancy! Dealing with backaches during pregnancy can be tough, but there are definitely ways to find relief. As for using heat packs like medical plasters, it's generally considered safe during the second trimester, but it's essential to be cautious. Heat can help relax muscles and alleviate discomfort, which can be a lifesaver when you're dealing with backaches. However, it's crucial to ensure that the heat pack isn't too hot and that you don't apply it directly to your skin to avoid any risk of burns or overheating. Here are a few tips for using heat packs safely: 1. Use a heat pack that is specifically designed for medical use and follows safety guidelines. 2. Always place a cloth or towel between the heat pack and your skin to prevent direct contact. 3. Limit the amount of time you use the heat pack to about 15-20 minutes at a time. 4. Never sleep with a heat pack on or leave it unattended. If you find that heat packs aren't providing enough relief, consider other methods such as gentle stretching, prenatal massage, or seeing a physiotherapist specializing in prenatal care. And remember, it's always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before trying any new pain relief methods during pregnancy.

I only used those warm pack that needs to put water (usually used during period) then leave it for 5-10 mins but definitely not those salon pas/kefentech kind.

Maybe don’t use those medicated kind but u can try those thermal heat/steam patches?

No, not suitable!
