Is playing on the phone every day during the seventh month of pregnancy likely to cause intellectual disabilities in the child?

Patient's question:

I am 7 months pregnant. Since I got pregnant until now, I have been playing on my phone every day for at least 15 hours. I work overtime every day and take naps at 12 a.m. My prenatal check-ups are normal, but there is some cord. Will this affect the baby after birth? Will there be any intellectual disabilities or deformities?

Doctor's answer:

This lifestyle habit will certainly affect the fetal growth and development. As for whether it will lead to intellectual problems or malformations, we can only wait and see after birth. If your prenatal check-ups are normal, there should be no problem. It is recommended that you do not work overtime and ensure sufficient deep sleep. Do not use your phone frequently in the morning, and you still need to rest well. Even outside of pregnancy, prolonged phone use and overtime work can affect your health. I hope my explanation helps you.
