I have one of those smart weighing scales that sends a tiny current to measure body fat. Now that im pregnant I got a doubt if that is ok to use. Maybe a silly question but is it safe or should I switch to a normal scale?
Since I had PCOS and a sensitive pregnancy, I avoided anything with even a minor risk. Most manufacturers recommend turning off the "smart" feature or using a standard scale during pregnancy, so better to be safe and use a normal one.
Honestly, we don't need all those advanced body fat metrics right now anyway, only your total weight matters to your doctor. Just buy a simple, cheap weighing scale for your bedroom and save your time and peace of mind.
To be honest, smart scales send tiny electrical impulses through your body to measure fat percentage, which some doctors suggest avoiding during pregnancy. After my C-section, I realized how much we worry about small things, but just using a basic old-school weighing scale is much safer and stress-free.
Yes, it's safer to avoid smart scales because of the electrical currents they use. I just used a simple manual weighing machine during my pregnancy to keep track of my steady weight gain, which is more than enough.
Actually, it's better to stick to simple, traditional scales for now! 🌸 Smart scales use bioelectrical impedance which might not be recommended during pregnancy, so why take any risks? Just enjoy your journey! 🥰
Wait, really? I had no idea about this and I have been stepping on our smart scale weekly! Should I stop using it immediately, or is it okay if I just read the basic weight and ignore the rest?
Oh sweetie, don't worry about those body fat percentages right now, your body is doing the beautiful job of growing a baby! Just use a regular weighing machine instead of a smart scale if you want to track your weight, and celebrate every change in your body.
