A member asked:
I was told using an ipad or laptop every day, all day is really bad for the baby because or the radio waves. is this true? what effects could it have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: No scientific evidence exists showing harm to a fetus from radio waves. That is not the same thing as saying there is no risk. Research is being done on use of cell phones and brain cancers> to be on the safe side , put some distance between the laptop and your abdomen. (e.g., sit at a table rather than putting the laptop on your lap.).
