I would not because: No one knows for sure; just as they don't do studies where they give pregnant women drugs to see if they cause birth defects, they have not done research to see if laptops might cause birth defects. But there is a theoretical risk- emf's are proven to cause dna damage & could interfere with crucial communication between developing cells. I would follow the "precautionary principle." see comment:.
