Computer Monitor Causes Harm to Pregnancy??? Posted: 12-15-05 03:13am
I am 5 months pregnant. I just found a
new job as an office assistant. I am
pinned in doing computer works for about 8
hours. A friend of mine told me that crt
(cathode ray tubes) monitors, which I have
on my desk, gives much radiation and might
give harmful effects to my baby. Is this
true? Im frightened. Thanks!

I had heard the same thign but never knew
if it was just an old wives tale or what.
I asked my doc and he said it was fine to
work with them. I worked with flat
screens throughout my whole preg and my
son is fine.

I never heard of that
I worked with computers through my
daughters pregnancy and halfway through
this one I also build them and nothing is
wrong with elisa and my lil boy to come is
100% healthy talk to your dr about it. I
know that if you were working in a
hazardous job they would have to move you
or give u leave.........
Let us know & take care

Nope.. I don't believe this is true. I
worked in a office my entire pregnancy,
and my boy was perfect and huge!.. He
scored 9 on the 1st apgar, and 10 on the
2nd.

Laptops? Posted: 12-15-05 20:09pm
Anybody know about laptops? I used to sit
in my bed and set it on my thighs/abdomen
....I've stopped since I got preg...But I
don't know if i'm just paranoid? Is it
okay to dothis?

Honestly, I would not worry about it. Ask
your doc to ease your mind.
I also do not think setting the laptop on
your lap is harmful.
