Can pregnant women watch movies on computers?

Patient's question:

I am three months pregnant. I heard that mobile phones and computers emit radiation, which is not good for the fetus. I was very careful in the first three months and rarely used my phone or computer. However, I am very bored and want to watch movies on the computer. My husband says there will be radiation and doesn't let me watch.
What kind of help do I need: Can pregnant women watch movies on the computer?

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women can watch movies on computers, but it's important to do so in moderation. If the distance from the front of the computer is more than 30 centimeters, the radiation's impact on people is very minimal. If you're sitting two meters away, that's not a problem either, as the radiation is likely even smaller than that from a TV. So, watching movies on a computer in this way is acceptable. The main issue with long-term computer use is sitting for too long, which can lead to problems with the neck and lower back, eye strain, and some electromagnetic radiation may make your face oilier and affect your skin. This is mainly a concern when sitting in front of the computer, but in your case, it's not a significant issue. However, watching movies can lead to prolonged sitting and inactivity, so be mindful of this as well, as poor blood circulation is not good for adults or children.
