Can I play computer during early pregnancy?

After becoming pregnant, expectant mothers will quit their jobs and stay at home to take care of the baby. However, staying at home for a long time will make them feel bored and out of touch with society. Therefore, in addition to maintaining a happy mood during pregnancy, many people will pick up their mobile phones, iPads and computers. First of all, these have radiation, which will have a certain impact on the baby in the belly and may cause miscarriage or deformity, so you must control the time you spend at home every day.

1. Does pregnant women playing computer have any effect on the fetus?

If pregnant women are exposed to electromagnetic radiation, it may cause miscarriage or fetal deformity. Computers also have a certain amount of radiation, but the radiation from computers is relatively weak. As long as the pregnant woman's working environment is not a computer room and she is not exposed to high-power computer radiation, the impact on the fetus is generally not too great.

If it is necessary for work, pregnant women can use computers appropriately, but if it is not for work reasons, it is recommended that pregnant women avoid contact with computers as much as possible, let alone play computer during pregnancy, especially in the first three months of pregnancy. At this time, for the sake of momentary pleasure, it may cause fetal malformation or miscarriage, which will make you regret it.

2. How to prevent computer radiation

Although the radiation from computers is relatively small and does not have much impact on the fetus, you should still take some protective measures during pregnancy just in case.

1. Don’t use the computer for a long time

Generally speaking, pregnant women should not work in front of the computer for more than four hours a day, and they should take a break every once in a while.

2. Maintain a safe distance

When using a computer, there should be a certain distance between people and the computer, about 40-50 cm. The main radiation source of the computer is at the back, so if you place the computer against the wall, the radiation will be relatively smaller. If you leave in the middle of a session, it is best to turn off the monitor.

3. Wear radiation protection clothing

If you must use a computer at work, in order to reduce the impact of computer radiation on yourself and the fetus, you can wear anti-radiation clothing, especially to protect your abdomen.

4. It is best not to use a computer during early pregnancy

Because the fetus is not very stable in the first three months of pregnancy, if you use a computer at this time, the impact of computer radiation on the fetus will be relatively large, so it is best not to use a computer in the first three months of pregnancy.
