Is it safe to be around computers constantly while pregnant?

Yes: There is minimal risk of exposure to any significant radiation from your computer. Studies that have been done have not shown any significant effects from such exposure.

Yes: But sitting for a long time with a lap top, desk top etc while pregnant can affect your back and circulation in your legs. Its good to get up and walk around on a regular basis.
