Should I be concerned? It's about 1.5 inches long and skinny burn, I was leaning over the stove and hit a pot

It's a little blistered but not bad...I put ice on it for a while.

Yikes!!

I don't think you should worry

I don't think you need to worry about it either. You could put some comfrey or st. Johns wort salve on it to encourage quick healing though, and it would probably help with any pain/ itching while it heals.

I did the same thing with a waffle iron with ds#3. He was fine but my belly hurt! Aloe really helped.

I did this when preg with DS, on the iron (note to self, do not iron naked when 9 mo pregnant, lol!!) The only thing the Dr was concerned about was the possibility of it being deep enough to do damage to my uterus. If it's just on the surface, you can just treat it like any burn, and you porobably want to keep a loose dressing on it to avoid it getting irritated or the blisters breaking and getting infected. I hope it feels better soon!!

if you or a friend has an aloe vera plant, slice open one of the leaves and apply the gel to the burn... it works like magic (also great for sunburns).

poor mama!

The best thing to put on your burn is raw (darker the better) honey.

Our tummies sure do get in out way dont they? I remeber my getting way to hot a time or so while cooking.

I too was a victim of a self inflicted naked ironing burn. From my experience, nothing to worry about. Be sure not to put any oil/lotion on it until the stinging has gone away.

(I just wonder what mine will look like when my belly shrinks back down....)

Can I just say how happy I am to find out I'm not the only one who irons naked!!!
Dh thought it was so weird the first time I did it--but lets face it, I was ironing what I wanted to wear!!

Nekkid ironer hre too. I now keep the iron and board in the master bath...

I actually was told not to do that while pregnant because of the burn factor. Doc said he had seem several mommies with burns on their tummies, lol. Not lol at the burns- OUCH! but that it happened enough that he told me about it. So far this time I have been more careful!
