I've used microwave when I was pregnant and my kiddo is doing fine now. I guess be cautious when using the older models like what Dalinda has stated.

Yes, thanks ladies.
Back to my question, does the same thing go on photocopiers?

As much as possible, stay away from microwaves, copiers and those stuff that may emit high radiation. Call me old school but no matter how companies explain that their products are radiation-free, I still double check and get extremely careful in operating stuff around the house.

I'm still using microwave now that I'm pregnant and I think there's no harm in that. My mum says the same too.

I guess you'll be fine using microwave. Best to discuss about this issue with your OB too.

I guess it's ok unless you spend the whole day using the microwave :P

I guess it's just fine.

I agree with what Adalira has shared. Regardless if your microwave is of the latest type, you should at least stay away from it during pregnancy just to be on the safest side.
