Pregnancy and Cell Phones

Do cell phones harm unborn babies? With more and more women using mobile phones to remain connected with other people, it's becoming a topic of concern.

There has been a great deal of debate for several years surrounding whether or not cell phones are dangerous to use during pregnancy.

Studies Into Pregnancy and Cell Phone Use

In July 2008 in the Journal of Epidemiology published a study of mothers of 13,159 children in Denmark. The researchers from the Universities of Aarhus, Denmark and California, Los Angeles asked mothers questions about their use of cell phone during pregnancy and the behavior of their children.

According to these studies, the mothers who said they used their cell phones during pregnancy reported more behavioral problems in their children. The behavioral problems included difficulty concentrating, hyperactivity, and an increased risk of impulsivity.

The study may be concerning to pregnant mothers, but it's unclear whether the study is accurate.
