Boston,
Laptops and pregnancy is a frequent concern for moms to be and it is not hard to understand why. The main concern of the great majority of pregnant women is typically the unborn baby. Everything from how to bath without harming the baby to what kind of appliances they can expose themselves to are causes for concern. While these are all valid concerns, it has led to so much criss crossing and debatable research that most mothers to be are more confused after reading the research than they were when it was just a question.
This does not in any way mean that they should not be researching, but when do you stop? When you are starting to get paranoid is a good indicator that it may be time to alter your research methods. Here is a short detailed version of the information concerning laptops and pregnancy that you were probably looking for.
• Laptop radiation (which researchers say comes from the laptops screen) is shown in some studies to cause birth defects that can represent themselves as irritability and colic to later behavioral problems or ADHD, while other studies have shown no defects. While this could be related to the amount of testing done and the length the results were taken at, the bottom line is that the results are still being debated.
o GOOD NEWS: none of the studies show extremely high rates of miscarriage. While pregnant it is never a good idea to put your laptop on your abdomen while you are working. This all studies, researchers, poll takers and doctors agreed on. The heat from the laptop is bad for the baby and goes along with the concept of not taking baths that are too hot or overheating yourself while you are pregnant.
o GOOD NEWS: You will not have as many annoying typos if you are not trying to do a balancing act, and your work will be done faster. Another bonus is that this could be a great reason to get that beautiful desk and ergonomic chair you were eyeing.
• The overall point is that if you are worried about the radiation from your laptop or even your desktop computer, but you have to work and are planning to limit your exposure, why not research for methods to protect yourself and your baby in another way? For example, purchasing an anti EMF radiation pendant, bracelet or even anklet will block you and your baby from any radiation produced by any appliance around you not just your laptop. EMF radiation is a concern for people in general, children to seniors so of course it is a serious concern during pregnancy.
Do not limit the safety search to just laptops, research beneficial non invasive ways to protect yourself and your little one. A lot of pregnancy woes can be addressed with an anti EMF jewelry item; they produce a natural energy that is good for the body and that will deflect harmful radiation from entering the body. Not only this but they fight inflammation, increase blood flow and circulation through un-clumping cells and can ease discomfort and effect better sleep. What if you could wear something daily that could reduce your EMF exposure, would you use it?
