hi mommy, congrats on your pregnancy may you have a safe delivery   with regards to radiation, ako kasi ugali ko na talagang medyo malayo manood ng tv, kasi i want to protect my eyes.  yes, i was advised also not to put my cellphone near my tummy or my head kaya pag natutulog ako yung cellphone ko medyo malayo sakin mga 2 arms stretched ang layo.  also microwaves had a high radiation. so if you'll use one, either let someone heat the food for you or get away from it while your food is being warmed up. 

with regards to music, i've read somewhere that it's a no-no if you put the speakers of the radio or earphones directly to your tummy.  noon sabi mas maganda yung ganun para marinig ni baby.  i think i read it from reader's digest that instead of helping the baby, doing so, we're actually damaging the baby's hearing.   logical nga naman since kulob sya sa loob, the sound waves to & fro lang sa loob so it hits him more than it should.  so ako, even with my first born, when i listen to the music i use our component instead of using earphones put directly on my tummy.  besides it also gives me the energy to do my scrapbook with a background music.  just my two cents

Hi Mommy HOTMOM777, thank you for this, naawa naman ako bigla sa baby ko kasi tagal ko na ginagawa yun, hindi naman pla good for her, nung ika 5th month ko kc breech pa si baby, my friend told me n itapat ko daw yung speaker sa lower tummy ko para susundan un n baby, eh since na correct n ngayon yung position ni baby naniwala ako n isa yun sa factor kung bakit sya umayos but ofcurse I also followed the exercise guide given to me by my OB, pero hindi naman siguro autism diba, mas dun kasi ako natatakot eh.

i read from "what to expect when you're expecting" na ok lang ang monitor and microwave.. since ako past time ko ang browsing the net at fave ko mg init ng food sa microwave, most of the time kahit nga mg init lang tubig eh.. i'm on my 30th week, i had my ultrasound and regular check up, oki naman si baby..but i guess it's too early to tell... hope our babies are well and healthy..
ingats..

Pregnancy and Radiation
If you're expecting, you probably know how many things that you are told to avoid. You shouldn't take over the counter medications without checking them through your doctor first. You shouldn't lift anything over 20 pounds in your last trimester, and you shouldn't smoke, drink or do drugs. Do you know about the dangers associated with your hair dryer, your television and your computer? It is essential to your health and the health of your unborn baby that you find out! Here is some important information for you.

Electromagnetic Radiation and Pregnancy –

When you sit at the computer, run your microwave oven or talk on your cell phone, you are exposed to something called electromagnetic radiation. What this radiation is can be explained as a kind of energy that is emitted from these devices and appliances in waves. This energy has been known to disrupt and damage cells within the body and cause free radicals. This has also been linked to cancer, brain tumors, interference with the blood brain barrier and even a higher risk of miscarriages in pregnant women who have been exposed to it.

In fact, according to a study conducted in San Francisco and published in the journal Epidemiology, you should pay close attention to how much electromagnetic radiation you are exposed to. This study utilized over 900 women who were less than 10 weeks pregnant. Dr. K. Li and his colleagues asked these mothers to wear a monitor for 24 hours in order to measure their exposure to this type of radiation. Upon comparison of the exposure and the outcome of the pregnancy, the findings reported that the women with higher exposure to electromagnetic radiation had an 80% increase in the risk of miscarriage. This is a huge risk to take! Here are some tips on how to avoid this problem.

Limit your use of the computer, cell phone and other appliances known to emit electromagnetic radiation during your pregnancy. Talk as little as you can on a cell phone and do not stay on the computer for long amounts of time with each sitting.

There are buffers which you can purchase that allow you to be shielded from electromagnetic radiation. In fact, you can purchase room buffers that shield you from the radiation coming from several appliances at once. There is even jewelry that does the same thing.

There are devices which are clipped on your laptop computer and cell phone that shield you from absorbing this electromagnetic radiation and keeps you and your unborn baby safe from electromagnetic radiation. In fact, some of these buffers and devices actually help your body to become stronger and fight off these waves of radiation.

Learn what you can about electromagnetic radiation in order to keep your family and your baby safe. Do research, find out the truth and take proactive steps to prevent yourself from being damaged by electromagnetic radiation. Utilize the tips and ideas above to help you in this process so that you will be happy and your little one will be happy as well!


nabasa ko lang toh sa isnag site while researching..
nakakabahala naman toh pakiread naman po ng mga preggy

[eyem]

naku mga momsies, nagworry ako kasi maghapon din ako nakatapat sa computer.. tapos nagpapphotocopy pa ako nung 3-6 months ni baby...pero nung nagpacongenital scan ako, la naman nakita na anomalies o deformities..ate yung deformities ba ng baby mo, sa congenital scan nakita? lagi rin kasi ako nakaupo, tapos lagi rin nakasiksik si baby sa isang bahagi lang ng tiyan ko siya gumagalaw...

sis, im a working mom at 8 hours nakaharap sa computer daily kahit nong preggy pa ako...i asked my OB before if ok lang mag-computer and she said ok lang, wala naman daw problem basta wag lang naka-upo ng matagal...i mean, dapat every 30 minutes, tatayo para di mapupunta lahat ng weight ng upper body sa tummy...ok lang din ang  manonood ng TV, pag la nga pasok, maghapon akong nanonood ng TV...yong baby ko rin nakasiksik s left side ng tummy ko, from 5 months till manganak ako andon lang sya at di nga sya masyadong makagalaw, di ko nga experience yong super likot sa tummy kz pala nakapulupot ang baby ko, tightly coiled cord...

Topic namin ni hubby yung autism the other day. Sabi niya, "it sad that everybody is linking everything to autism." Pero ang may scientific findings lang is yung hereditary factors at genes incompatibility ng parents ng baby.

[anziesky]

autism is a BIG?
ang alam ko there's somthing wrong with genes of the baby.
pwede sabihing for the 1st trimester, the age of your baby development were in masyadong mabilis ang development ng cell division and its very delicate laluna sa radiation spc. Xray kc masyadong malaka. yung tv and computer hindi naman sya ganun kalakas para abutin si baby sa loob ng tyan.

nalala ko kc nung buntis pa ako last year lang, may Xray dito sa school hindi ako pinapalabas ng nurse at doctor sa office ko kc nay Xray mga student for ther medical. also nung magpapa ultrasound ako sa ospital madadaana yung xray room, sinisilip muna ng radtech kung naka on yung red light ibig sabihin may inixray, ayaw niya ako palabasin. after n un saka palang ako pinalabas, sya yung unang lumabas.
Nalala ko tuloy yong Embryology subject ko noon naglolokohan pa kami ng mga classmates at prof namin na kung ma expose po ba ang baby sa radiation Pwede maging MUTANT hehe....  pwede da hehe... teenage mutant ninja turtle...

[prettytrisha]

Nabasa ko din sa internet before na wala namang effect yung radiation ng computer at TV sa baby. Marami na din kasing concerns tungkol dyan lalo na sa mga preggy moms na nagwo-work. Ang possible effect pa sa mommies, yung pagsakit ng mata, ulo, balakang dahil sa matagal na pag-upo at manas!

[mayNS]

hi mommies, ganu kasama yung pagbabad ng isang preggy sa computer?.. like me halos everyday nkharap sa laptop ko kc nga naman walang magawa, nakakasama ba ito sa baby?

and isang question din... bawal din ba pamasahe? thanx.

[ilovegabe]

mommy you need to exercise 
You need to move those legs para mag circulate ang blood 
Its ok naman mag computer as long as hindi naman yun lang ang ginagawa mo, you need to have other activities na healthy for the course of your pregnancy 

[jhoyjhoy]

hmmm. i think ok lang naman nakababad sa pc. just as long as tumatayo ka every now and then para magalaw galaw mo naman yung mga muscles mo. like me, i spend many hours in front of our pc.

pero ive read some where na masama dahil sa radiation ng monitor. hmmm..
so far wala namang epekto sa baby ko and pag upo sa harap ng pc ng matagal.

ang epekto lang na nakikita ko eh yung laging masakit likod ko after ko mag pc.
