How many pregnant women have used electric blankets?

In winter, many pregnant women may choose electric blankets to keep warm. Electric blankets can generate heat to help the body warm up and have no effect on health. However, electric blankets have radiation. Long-term exposure can affect the development of the fetus and can easily cause miscarriage and fetal malformations. Therefore, pregnant women are advised not to use electric blankets with radiation or use electronic devices for a long time.

Can pregnant women use electric blankets?

Electric blankets are a must-have for many people to keep warm in winter, but they are not without harm to health. Among all electrical appliances, electric blankets are in contact with the human body for the longest time. In addition to generating heat during the heating process, they also emit strong electromagnetic radiation. Long-term contact can cause certain harm to the human body. Electromagnetic waves can cause neurological, reproductive, and immune system diseases, as well as headaches, dizziness, menstrual disorders in women, dark skin, and difficulty breathing.

In addition, this appliance is very harmful to expectant mothers, especially if it is used all night, it can easily cause miscarriage. Moreover, because this blanket is in close contact with human skin, the protein in the skin will denature under the influence of continuous high temperature, thus affecting the normal development of the fetus. In severe cases, the fetus will be deformed. Therefore, for the safety of the fetus and to reduce the chance of miscarriage, doctors generally recommend that electric blankets should not be used in early pregnancy.

The dangers of using electric blankets for pregnant women

1. Damage to the endocrine system

Electric blankets have a relatively low electromagnetic field when working. They work close to the human body all night long and can cause certain harm to the human body, especially to pregnant women. It has a particularly strong impact on female endocrine system and can even cause infertility in severe cases. Moreover, generally speaking, electromagnetic radiation is invisible and cannot be touched or seen, so it is difficult to attract people's attention. However, this invisible killer of the fetus should indeed attract attention.

2. Lead to lack of energy

Due to the high temperature of the electric blanket and long-term use, especially after using it for a whole night, the expectant mother will be obviously tired and feel uncomfortable the next day.

3. Prone to leakage

The number of brain cells in the fetus has a great relationship with their intellectual development. However, the mother's excessively high body temperature will cause a sharp drop in the number of brain cells in the fetus. Therefore, using an electric blanket will increase the body temperature of the pregnant woman, which will have a great impact on the intellectual development of the fetus. If the electric blanket has been used for a long time and is not properly maintained, it is easy to cause an electric leakage accident, so never use it when you are asleep.

4. Serious harm to the fetus

Medical research has shown that the fetus's nervous tissue reaches its peak development period between 5 and 25 days of pregnancy, the fetal heart develops between 25 and 40 days of pregnancy, and the limbs develop between 4 and 26 days of pregnancy. This shows that if pregnant women use electric blankets in the first few months, the development of the fetus's organs will be seriously damaged.

5. May cause discomfort to pregnant women

In addition, electromagnetic radiation can cause headaches, dizziness, depression, boredom and other nervous system diseases in pregnant women, as well as skin and respiratory diseases such as skin aging and difficulty breathing. It may also cause reduced immune function, vision loss, and increase the risk of leukemia. This invisible harm is a chronic process, and many people do not take its hazards seriously enough, especially for pregnant women. Although electric blankets have low current, the electromagnetic radiation will increase their chances of miscarriage.
