Today, computers are widespread all over the world and most people have no idea how to do without it. It is not surprising that at such a time, many pregnant women are wondering about the harmful effects of a computer on the health of their unborn baby.
Influence of the computer on health
If nothing is known about the health effects of computer radiation, this does not mean that it is not harmful. At first glance, the adverse impact may not be noticeable.
On the one hand, today there is no reliable data on the harmful effect of a computer on the development of the fetus. But, on the other hand, a pregnant woman must be strong physically and mentally to carry a healthy child. The harmful influence of a computer in this aspect can affect the expectant mother and her baby.
Today, the influence of computer radiation on humans is not well understood. It is believed that it can cause disorders of the nervous system and a decrease in immunity. There are special radiation shields that only work if the equipment is properly installed. Although, most of the diseases of people who have connected their work with a computer stem from the fact that they spend a long time sitting, strain their eyes: their eyes become inflamed, redden and hurt, and this can disrupt sleep, which is very important for expectant mothers. For pregnant women, a sedentary lifestyle is contraindicated, because there is a stagnation of blood circulation in the pelvic region, as a result of which it is poorly supplied with nutrients and oxygen, as well as pressure on the spine increases and as a result, lower back pain appears. Therefore, you should not sit at the computer for a long time, no more than 2 hours. Be sure to take breaks and take walks that will help disperse stagnant blood, saturate the body with fresh air, strengthen the immune system, and allow your eyes to rest.
It should be noted that frequent work at the computer provokes nervous excitement, which is definitely not useful for people, especially pregnant women. It can cause seizures and spasms, and sleep disturbances. As a result, there are many other side effects that are not beneficial to health.
Organize your working day correctly
Try to limit the time spent at the computer as much as possible and plan your day correctly. It is very important for a pregnant woman to lead a healthy lifestyle.
To date, it is almost impossible to completely exclude the computer from your life, but you can make it so that its adverse effect on the body decreases. To do this, while working at the computer, try to use full-screen modes that are less harmful to your eyes. It has been proven that black text on a white background is the most optimal for health, while the eyes are less strained and the person is less tired.
After every 30 minutes in a seated position, try to warm up and walk to restore circulation. It is best to take a walk outside.
If your work is connected with a computer and you do not want to spend the whole sitting at it, ask your manager to change the conditions for you. Remember that there is a Labor Law that provides for the transfer of pregnant women to lighter work.
