Patient's question:
I want to ask how many hours in general should one watch TV and use computers during pregnancy? Or should these activities be avoided altogether?Doctor's answer:
Mothers-to-be should not use a computer for more than 20 hours a week and should take a 10-minute break after using it for one hour. It is also advisable to minimize the use of other electrical appliances.Within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, mothers-to-be should avoid contact with computers as much as possible. This is the most sensitive period for fetal development, during which organs are still in the early stages of formation. Any carelessness could lead to lifelong regret. For mothers-to-be who cannot avoid using computers, it is recommended to wear a radiation-blocking vest or apron and use a screen protector for the computer.
