Using a cell phone while pregnant can seriously damage your baby

Study of 13,000 children exposes link between use of handsets and later behavioral problems. Women who use mobile phones when pregnant are more likely to give birth to children with behavioural problems, according to authoritative research.

They found that mothers who did use the handsets were 54 per cent more likely to have children with behavioural problems and that the likelihood increased with the amount of potential exposure to the radiation. And when the children also later used the phones they were, overall, 80 per cent more likely to suffer from difficulties with behaviour. They were 25 per cent more at risk from emotional problems, 34 per cent more likely to suffer from difficulties relating to their peers, 35 per cent more likely to be hyperactive, and 49 per cent more prone to problems with conduct.

My Comment:

When something, like cell phones, is ubiquitous, there is a sense of safety. However, McDonald's is ubiquitous too. Whether or not you believe cell phones are harmful or not, when dealing with pregnancy, it probably isn't bad to error on the side of caution.
