Can Heat From Laptop When Placed Close To Belly Can Effect Pregnancy?

Hi, I will start off by saying I am 5 months pregnant. Sometimes when I go to bed and lay down, I prop my laptop on my belly so I can use it. Is this a bad thing to do? Sometimes I feel the baby kicking more so when I do this. Should I be worried or do you think the baby could like the warmth that is being generated from the laptop. Thank you.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. There is no research evidence which reports heat from laptop when placed close to belly can affect child or mother during mothers pregnancy period. But you could be careful. Continuous exposure could harm your skin as well as cells. Better safe than sorry especially when you are pregnant. Please avoid using laptop on your belly or lap while you are pregnant.
