I am a working pregnant woman doing online jobs. can it affect my baby too much if i work in computers even if i take a rest a bit if i feel tired?

No: Obviously, rest during pregnancy when you are tired is ideal, but a working pregnant woman does not always get that option.(smile). Several years ago several Washington Post employees were concerned about many miscarriages in the office allegedly caused by the computer video display terminal (VDT). Several studies have proven that notion FALSE. Computers will not hurt your fetus.
