Microwave & Pregnancy

[capri187]

I'm not sure about this but...is it okay to eat microwaveable foods while being pregnant?

THE MICROWAVE is NOT dangerous!  You can stand in front of it safely!  It has a magnetic field which traps the micro waves inside the micro!  Properly used, a microwave oven is extremely safe.  Under authority of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act, FDA's-Center for Devices and Radiological Health ensures that microwave ovens made after 1971 meet a radiation safety standard requiring: two independent interlock systems to stop microwave production the moment
the latch is released or the door is opened. A monitoring system stops the oven if either or both of the interlocks fail. Bottom line: Don't operate a microwave if the door is broken...otherwise, you are fine!

There are micro waves and x-rays all around us in the atmosphere as well.

yes, the only thing that the docs tell you to watch is the amout of perservatives in them.  And being that it's frozen food, there is alot.  However, once and a while shouldn't hurt anything.  Well good luck and I hope this helped a little.
