I'm at 38 weeks, and I just checked w/ my doctor because I'm trying to help w/ sciatic nerve pain associated with my pregnancy.
She said NO. Those heat wraps are designed to give continuous heat for 8+ hours, thus elevating your core body temperature. This, in turn, is harmful to the baby, and why she said I should not be using one.
She did, however, say that I could use an electric heating pad on the lowest setting for brief periods of time (15-20 minutes and then taking a break from it) to help cope with some of the nerve pain.
