dont put cell phone near baby...

edited March 2011 in Pregnant
I laid my cell phone on my belly last night, and hubby and bil freaked out.. they said it was bad for baby... has anybody else heard this? Is it true? Lol, I don't want to freak out about it because it sounds so silly, but... can't help it...

  • If standing in front of the microwave is safe then im sure your phone is ok too :P
  • well if it is bad then i'm horrible.. i use my phone to play music to my baby...
  • I don't know why but my mom always tell me not to put my cell phone near my stomach and she won't let me sit with my laptop on my lap....#Weird
  • I use my phone to play music to baby too and i also usually end up laying on my phone at night when I'm sleeping and i wake up to my alarm clock going off under my belly or back :( uh Oh
  • Its not true ladies about the cell phone but the microwave is not.safe my high risk dr told me this
  • @anadoll92 my doctor told me the same thing, cell phones are fine but standing by the microwave for a long amount of time while its running can be dangerous.
  • They say it causes behaviour problems idk if that's true or not
  • @TeriSue I personally don't think cell phones cause any behavior problems. I have a very compliant and healthy 14 month old little girl that I played music to 6 times a day when I was pregnant with her from my cell phone :)
  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • That's what it said when I Googled it
    Idk if its right or not
  • Its because the cell phone and other appliance give out limit amont of radiations but the amount it releases its not harmful at all
  • good thing i dont have a microwave, nice to know though :)
  • Yup sum mircowaves are safer now but most of them are not. I threw mines out im terrified ever since I had.my ct scan on my pelvis wen I was 3 wks prego and didnt know!! Dr said baby looks great but I still hate myself
  • My over-opinionated sil says it could cause behavioral, emotional, and attention problems... she says (and I quote) "smoking, drinking, cell phones... why risk harming the baby?".... umm, smoking and drinking are one thing, but there is no way to say for sure that a kid's hyperactivity, or ADHD, is caused by cell phones... even if mom doesn't use a cell phone all thru pregnancy (and who the hell doesn't use a cell phone anymore) so many people do that who knows whether it was her radio waves or the millions of other radio waves in the air? I understand not smoking or drinking, or doing crack or whatever, but as long as my baby isn't going to have three eyeballs or a toe on his forehead, I'm going to use my cell phone throughout my pregnancy. I don't feel that the side effects are conclusive enough to say yes, cell phone use is what causes this.
  • Lucy_loo_288 standing by the microwave is NOT SAVE AT ALL in the u.k our midwifes tell us NOT to stand my microwave when using it an ONLY use earphone to let bby listen an DO NOT put laptop on your lap hope this has helped :-)
