Using the Microwave Does your pregnancy seem like it is filled with never ending dos and don’ts? If it’s not the doctor telling you what to do, it’s your mother telling you what not to do or it’s your best friend, a person at the grocery store or a magazine article. There are probably times that you wonder if anything is safe for you when you are pregnant, including the things that simplify your life like the microwave oven.

Some people may tell you to avoid using the microwave oven when you are pregnant because microwave emissions have been linked to fertility problems in men. But the men studied had heavy exposure on a daily basis. And while there have been no studies that show microwave emissions to be harmful or safe for a fetus, negative effects are impossible from the ordinary day to day use of a microwave oven. Ronald P. Jensh, a professor of pathology, anatomy, and cell biology at the Jefferson Medical College, said, of microwave ovens, that “it is virtually impossible for them to leak radiation.” They are built with many safeguards. The food that you cook in your microwave is likely to be more harmful than your microwave oven is. And even that, is probably nothing to worry over either.
