No, nothing to worry about.

Flying on a plane while pregnant would expose the baby to more radiation just from being higher in the atmosphere. Appliances in your house do not emit enough radiation to have any noticable effect on anything.

I was pregnant not to long ago and i was asking the same thing. Everything in your environment affects you and your unborn baby. most things are in a very minute way. Appliances do not send the same waves off that they once did, as with a lot of other things. That's why you don't see signs hanging everywhere saying "microwave in use could effect pacemakers, etc." i think you get what I'm trying to say. Technology has come a long way from where it once was. Don't worry because worrying affects your baby.

So they say... not just the pregnancy, but cells anywhere in anyone's body. The difference is it can be a much worse affect for a developing baby because not all the cells know what they are supposed to do yet, and if you change it and then it multiplies, it can cause bigger, worse mutations. At least that's how the theory goes from what I understand. Either way, can you really take everything that science says causes a higher risk for mutation or cancer seriously? It's hopeless almost everything seems to cause some problem or disease these days.

No. The only appliances that emit radiation at all are microwave ovens and television sets, and in both of those it is well enclosed and is no danger to humans.

Yes. It can mutate cells. You would have to have a lot of electronic appliances though.

to some extent , especially the badly maintained or the old ones , in addition to small ares and lacking of fresh air.

No, it's a "new wives' tale".
