Scrolling Too Much While Pregnant? Watch This 🔴

Learn how mobile phone habits and blue light affect fetal development and prenatal health in this essential guide for expectant mothers 5 things every mom should know about mobile use during pregnancy: 1. Blue Light and Circadian Rhythm Effect: Blue light from screens suppresses melatonin. Impact: If the mother’s sleep cycle is disrupted, it can affect the fetus's developing biological clock and lead to lower birth weights or irritability. 2. The "Sedentary" Factor Effect: Long periods of scrolling usually mean the mother is stationary. Impact: Reduced blood circulation and increased risk of gestational diabetes or swelling (edema). Movement is vital for fetal positioning and oxygenation. 3. Stress and Cortisol Effect: "Doom-scrolling" or consuming stressful content triggers cortisol. Impact: Cortisol can cross the placenta. High maternal stress levels are linked to higher fetal heart rates and potential behavioral issues later in life. 4. Posture and Space Effect: Hunching over a phone (even on the side) can compress the abdomen slightly. Impact: Poor maternal posture can limit the space the baby has to move into the optimal "head down" position. 5. Radiation (The Myth vs. Reality) Fact: Cell phones use non-ionizing radiation, which is generally considered safe. Advice: Most doctors still recommend keeping the phone a few inches away from the belly (not resting directly on it) just as a precautionary measure.
