Is it dangerous for pregnant women to spend a long time in front of the computer?

To date, it has not been proven that computers have any direct negative effect on pregnancy, but if a pregnant woman stays in front of the computer all day it can cause back pain.

It is normal for every pregnant woman to try to do everything she can to ensure that her baby is healthy. Pregnant women often worry about whether the daily life activities that they did regularly before becoming pregnant may negatively affect the baby's development.

One of the concerns a pregnant woman may have is whether the computer has a negative impact.

Today we live in such circumstances that it is impossible to do any work without a computer. It is inevitable that a pregnant woman who works in an office spends several hours a day in front of the computer.

The impact that computers can have during pregnancy has been studied for quite some time, including the impact of the electromagnetic field that this device creates.

In conclusion, it has been proven that the computer does not increase the likelihood of a pregnancy ending in miscarriage nor does it cause abnormalities in the baby.

The danger of sitting in front of the computer may not come directly from the computer, but from sitting for a long time which can cause back pain. If the pregnant woman stays in one position for a long time, this has a negative impact on blood pressure and pain appears.

Therefore, any pregnant woman who has to stay in front of the computer for several hours during work hours should take short breaks several times during the day.

It's good to move around the office during these breaks, because this facilitates blood circulation throughout the body, especially in the legs. /Telegraph/
