Radiation Exposure During Pregnancy

Radiation exposure during pregnancy has proven incredibly damaging and there are few people who would dispute that fact. But what should you be looking out for, and are there hidden forms of radiation?

Well Know Radiation Exposure

There are forms of radiation that most are aware of, and in these cases they're hard to avoid. Some cancer patients will undergo radiation therapy to help control the disease, which is often necessary for survival. It's been well documented how this type of radiation exposure effects your reproductive system negatively. Other large forms of radiation exposure include x-rays you need when seeking medical treatment.

Overlooked Radiation Exposure

When exposed to high radiation levels, there aren't many professionals that will dispute the effect. It's when you get to lower levels, in both intensity and duration that many will begin to disagree. In every well developed country women who are pregnant will be exposed to low levels of radiation, often without realizing it.

If you live near power lines, you're being exposed to radiation to different degrees. There are also low level forms of radiation emitted from household appliances like microwaves, electric blankets, and even computer screens.

How harmful are they? There has yet to be a consensus on how harmful non-ionizing radiation is, and how it effects our long term reproductive system but if you're experiencing problems with infertility or miscarriage it's advised to eliminate as much exposure as possible.
