You might be wondering about the safety of using your cellphone during pregnancy. With all the texting, calling, and browsing, it’s hard to imagine being without it. But what does the science say about potential effects on your baby?
Cellphones and other handheld devices do emit radio waves, but researchers are still exploring the impact of these emissions on developing fetuses. So far, findings are inconclusive. The ethical concerns of exposing human fetuses to possible harm make it tough to conduct definitive studies. However, no solid evidence has linked cellphone use to any negative outcomes for fetal development. This means you likely don’t need to give up your beloved phone just yet.
That said, if you’re looking for ways to minimize exposure, you might consider using speakerphone or a headset, and keeping the phone away from your belly when it’s not in use.
