My MIL keeps telling me to switch off the wifi router at night because of the baby. I work from home so its on all day anyway. Is there really anything to worry about or just a myth?
Oh, this is one of those questions that pops up on every forum! I'm planning my pregnancy and was wondering the same. Most research suggests that the levels of radiation from household WiFi are very low and unlikely to cause harm. I think common sense prevails – don't sleep with the router next to your head, but otherwise, life pretty much continues as normal.
My family used to say 'don't use too much phone,' but it was more about rest than radiation. For WiFi, all my doctors said there is nothing to worry about with normal home usage. The signals are very weak. Just use your gadgets as you usually do, dear. Don't stress, it is not good for the baby.
Honestly, everyone worries about this, but there's no solid scientific proof that normal household WiFi harms pregnancy. You're exposed to so many signals daily, WiFi is just one of them. Just don't keep your phone right on your belly all the time, and you'll be fine. Focus on eating well and less stress, that's more important.
Looking back, I worried about so many things like WiFi during my pregnancy! But my little one is a healthy, mischievous toddler now. There's no strong evidence to suggest that typical WiFi use is unsafe. Just live your normal life, use your phone, watch Netflix. What really matters is your peace of mind and staying happy.
Yaar, this WiFi thing is everywhere now, impossible to avoid, na? Actually, my gynac said that the radiation levels from typical home WiFi are super low, nothing to stress about. Unless you're like, sleeping with the router on your stomach, it's generally considered safe. Just chill, focus on good food and rest.
I totally understand why you'd worry about this, I had so much anxiety during my pregnancy about everything. The good news is, current medical consensus is that normal domestic WiFi usage isn't harmful to pregnancy or the baby. Try not to let these worries consume you, but if you're really concerned, mention it to your doctor for reassurance.
I've heard people talk about this too and it makes me a little worried. From what I've read, normal WiFi use in homes is generally considered safe. Maybe just try to keep your phone a little further away sometimes? It's good to be careful, but not too stressed I think.
