Does putting a mobile phone in your pocket affect the fetus?

Patient's question:

Is the radiation only present when the phone is in use for calls or receiving calls, or is it also present when the phone is normally on?
I often keep my phone in my pocket. Does this have an effect on the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

The radiation from the phone is very low. Generally, it has no significant impact on the fetus. Additionally, you do not frequently use a computer, so it should not be a problem.
Mothers-to-be should use dedicated headphones and microphones to answer calls, minimize call duration, and prefer using programmable phones. It is recommended to undergo regular prenatal check-ups, count fetal movements at fixed times while lying on your left side to improve uteroplacental blood circulation. Get sufficient sleep every day, ensuring 8-9 hours, maintain a balanced diet, supplement iron and calcium moderately, and avoid sexual activity.
