      What are the effects of using a microwave oven while pregnant? Using a microwave may cause fetus deformity. For ordinary people, although a good-quality microwave oven only has some radiation around the door crack, which is not enough to cause any harm to the body, it may still be a sensitive stimulus for pregnant mothers within 3 months of pregnancy. High-intensity microwaves can cause fetal malformations, miscarriage or stillbirth.

      Tips for pregnant women using microwave ovens:

      ○Try not to use a microwave oven, or at least put a special cover on the microwave oven to reduce your body's exposure to unnecessary electromagnetic radiation.

      ○When using a microwave or induction cooker, be sure to keep your body as far away from the microwave as possible. Because when the circuit is connected, the radiation intensity of the microwave oven can suddenly increase to 350 milliwatts, which is about 7 times more than the minimum standard stipulated by the country. >>>  What should pregnant women eat that can cause miscarriage?
