Hi all, hope you can help. I have been told both yes and no to this. Something to do with the emf's. Can they really harm a baby?

my only concern would be the increase of body temp which can be dangerous in pregnancy. However, I would think that warming your bed and then turning the blanket off would be fine.

Hi, if you look on the 'Baby Centre' website it has a section on there about what you can and can't do when pregnant, and one of the subject's is about using an electric blanket!
(If I was more computer literate I'd do a link but not sure how!!!) Hope that helps.
