Second Trimester of Pregnancy Forum - Phone radiation while pregnant ?

I am 24 weeks pregnant now. It is the first baby for my husband and me. Several days ago, he bought a little stuff for me and my baby from Itunes Store. An iphone app specially designed for babies and moms-to-be.

The name is prenatal lullabies. We played it on my iphone that day. The music is very gentle and the instruction shows that those music have positive benefit to fetal development.

Personally speaking, I like listening to it very much. But my doctor suggest me be far from my phone and computer. He said radiation has bad effect on fetus. But some said it doesn’t have. I am wondering whether I should play prenatal lullabies for my baby on iphone or not.

I really like the music in it.

Your phone doesn't put out signifcantly more RF than your TV or Microwave or an Ultrasound machine or the powerlines outside your home. Like it or not we live in a wireless world, there's a lot of signal out there and all of it is technically radioactive.

I'd also be a bit wary of believing that Iphone apps improve your health. There is no medical body that is verifying those claims. If your doctor suggests an app put some stock in it. If the site selling the app tells you it's great they may be biased.
