sound like shes being a bit over careful the risks off overheating and causing damage to the baby are mostly in the first trimester and when you are totaly submerging yourself in somthing hot like a hot tub. i used hot water bottles to realeave stress especaly toward the end off my first pregnancy and it never did my daughter any harm.
