Some consumer groups urge pregnant women not to use electric blankets. Why do you think so?

I don’t really know the exact reasons why but I’ll list off reasons of what I think

-If her water were to break with the electric blanket on, it could electrocute her and the fetus (undeveloped baby)

-I dont know if this would apply but I’d guess radiation! Which could cause many health problems to not only the pregnant woman but the baby as well!

-sometimes the temperature could get to hot or to cold for the fetus also causing more health problems!

-I’m thinking that sometimes the weight of most electric blankets could apply to much pressure to the stomach which could be bad for the baby

-HOPE THAT HELPEDED! <3
