Apple watches when pregnant

Bit random, but I'm 22 weeks pregnant and have worn my Apple Watch throughout my pregnancy. Suddenly had a thought tonight about whether or not it's safe for baby with Bluetooth, radiation etc etc. Couldn't find anything much on the web and just wondered if other pregnant people are wearing theirs or have any thoughts on the subject. Thanks.

I wear an Apple Watch and never even gave this a thought. I’m now 36 weeks. I’m sure you’ll be fine.

I wore mine without a second thought. Unless you live completely off-grid you are likely almost constantly within myriad electromagnetic fields, not least the WiFi network in your house.

Same as OP no worse than being around mobile phones laptops WiFi etc been using mine

Thanks everyone, I shall continue wearing mine! Always good to get reassurance over my random hormonal thoughts!

The frequencies used by wifi, tv etc... have never ever shown any increased risks to humans in any long term scientific study. The energy carried by these waves is extremely low (E = hf).

Didn't you learn this in physics??
(Sorry for the poor joke from a physics teacher).

Ha, thanks, I'm far too old to have learnt about WiFi in physics!

They're just radio waves...

And radio waves have far less energy and are far less damaging than visible light.

And I suspect you aren't avoiding visible light...
