Moms-to-be, please note - just avoid cell phones, for a study has revealed that using mobiles during pregnancy could significantly raise your unborn child’s risk of developing behavioural problems later in life.What’s more shocking is that the 15-year-long study by international researchers has found that exposure to mobile handsets can also affect the heart rate of an unborn child to some extent.
Researchers have based their findings on an analysis of health data of 13,000 mothers in Denmark who were recruited in early pregnancy and followed until their kids were seven, The Daily Telegraph reported.
The study concluded that the use of mobile phones by pregnant women - even as little as two or three times a day - was enough to up the risk of hyperactivity and behavioural problems in kids.
