My desk is right next to the photocopy machine and it runs all day. Now that im 9 weeks im a little tense about the radiation thing. Is this an actual concern?
It's totally safe to use, dear. When I was working before my C-section, I used the copier daily without any issues. Just make sure you don't lift heavy bundles of paper or bend down too much to load it, as that can strain your back.
While photocopy machines are generally considered safe, it's always best to ask your gynac during your next visit to clear your doubts. It's always better to get professional reassurance so you can work without any worry.
There's no scientific evidence that modern photocopy machines cause any harm during pregnancy as long as the room is well-ventilated. Just don't stand directly leaning against it for hours, but a few copies daily are perfectly safe. Mention it to your doctor if you still feel uneasy.
It is not harmful at all, don't stress. Just like how I had to be very careful with my sugar levels and diet, we sometimes overthink other small things too. Just wash your hands after handling paper and focus on your healthy meals.
I have to use the office photocopy machine almost daily and I'm a bit anxious about the emissions or radiation. Has anyone else used it regularly during their pregnancy? I hope it's completely fine.
Arre, don't worry! I worked in an office throughout my pregnancy and used the xerox machine all the time, and my kid is perfectly healthy. Just don't stand too close while it's printing if you want to be extra safe.
I remember worrying about the exact same thing when I was pregnant! Now that my little one is a toddler running around, I realize we stress over such tiny details. It's completely safe, so please don't lose sleep over it.
I totally understand your fear, because during my pregnancy, I was scared of every single electronic device! Your feelings are completely valid, but rest assured, photocopy machines are safe. Try to take deep breaths and don't worry.
