Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 I was wondering if anyone could advise as to the use of a laptop computer and being pregnant. For precaution I have started to use it on a table rather than my lap (I'm 23 days pregnant - so do not want any adverse effects)! Also Sheri - is there any contraindications with homeopathic remedies and pregnancy? I'm already staying away from herbal teas until I read up on the ones specific for NOT during pregnancy and I'm staying away from my essential oil cupboard - until I research of course. I know it's really premature but I can't wait until this baby is born and has no vaccs, my son had his until 4 mos and we've never gone back. He's not seen a doctor for almost 36 mos. - has never needed to. Very few colds - perhaps 1 - 1 1/2 a year and little fever activity. Had chicken pox and came through it easily. I remember when Mitch was little and we would visit friends with their babies and everyone would talk about how they needed this pediatrician, they were easy to talk to and had convenient hours and how often they had to be there, coughs, colds, sniffles, ear aches, etc. When I was questioned, I just shrugged, had absolutely no clue as to what they were talking about -- odd thing was that they all thought their kids were healthy! Oh my Tommy's very healthy, and then they would go on which meds he was taking and how many doctor's visits they were going to, etc. - Odd. Thanks for any assistance, Sider Mom to , friend to Indy, the buckskin pitbull and Taco, the Gunsmoke gelding Remember, one day you're a hero. . . the next a zero! jsider@...

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 I don't know much about the subject either but they do have screen covers that minimize radiation from computer monitors. Also there are products that you can wear (necklace) that reduces effects of radio/other harmful waves. Do a search on polarized necklace or the like.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 The Levenger catalog has low-profile laptop tables if you'd like a way to have your laptop convenient but not right against your belly. (I've been looking at them because dh has mentioned treating me to a laptop for my birthday.) Like Sherri said, the lcd screen on the laptops are preferable by far to the typical crt's used for desktop machines. However, laptops can be quite heat-generating, so best not touching you even if you aren't pregnant, for comfort and ventilation. Anyway, that's one of the reasons why my kids have an lcd flat-panel monitor on their desktop computer. Kids really get up close to the monitor more than adults often do. We have it mounted on the wall so that little ones can'[t knock it off the table and break it. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
