In general, you should be perfectly safe using a computer while you are pregnant. It had been thought in the past that the low-level electromagnetic fields produced by computer monitors could be harmful, and could specifically cause miscarriage or harm to your unborn baby. However, repeated studies have shown that there is no risk associated with these electromagnetic fields.
The biggest risk in computer use while pregnant is the risk of spending too much time at once in front of the computer, because your body needs to have regular movement. In addition, while you are pregnant sitting for long periods of time can become uncomfortable and aggravate any problems you may have, such as sciatica. If you must spend extended periods in front of the computer, take frequent brief breaks to walk, stretch, and move.
