How to use Mobile Phone During Pregnancy

Mobile phones emit low levels of "non-ionizing" electromagnetic radiation as do televisions, computers, microwave ovens and other man-made and natural environmental sources that we are exposed to every day. "Non-ionizing" radiation is much milder than the "ionizing" radiation.

Experts from around the world agree that non-ionizing radiation is unlikely to harm a developing baby, because it is at the low end of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, you can reduce your exposure from your mobile phone by following these suggestions:

Ø Use your phone as little as possible, and only when you have no alternative, send a text or use a landline instead.

Ø Keep your calls short.

Ø Try to avoid using your phone if the signal strength is low, find a better location to make a call if it improves the signal.

Ø Consider using a hands-free set, to increase the distance between your head and the phone, or try not to hold your hand-held phone too close to your head .

Ø Keep away mobile phone from your bed during night.
