6.5wks pregnant. i stand in front of the microwave (its above my stove) when im heating food up. should i be worried about radiation exposure to my baby?

Probably not: There are metal screens on the door to prevent microwaves from escaping. Then again, do you really have to stand there while the food is warming? Press the buttons and walk away until the cycle is completed. No reason to stand there looking at the food warming up.
