I think about this and try to put a pillow down, but sometimes I forget.

I think it's not great for guys because of the heat. But I don't think it matters for us. I never thought about it!

I used my laptop on my lap my entire pregnancy and my DD was born just fine. I wouldn't really worry about it. Chat Icon

I use mine for several hours, every single day, on my lap. I asked the nurse at my OB's office and she said it's totally ok and not to worry about it at all.

I actually asked my doctor this and she laughed at me (as she does with many of my questions). She said using the laptop has no effect on getting pregnant.

Re: Do You Use A Laptop?

I am constantly on my laptop! I think, like has been said by some of the other ladies here, that if it were to affect one of us, it would only be DH

Re: Do You Use A Laptop?

I do.

When I was pregnant... I was a little nervous about it. I know I was overreacting, but I still did my best to keep the laptop on a table instead of my lap. Then, I had a MC and I'm not sure if that made me more nervous about the laptop... even though I KNOW my MC has NOTHING to do with the laptop. I think we just drive ourselves nuts sometimes.

Regardless... I just keep my laptop on a table MOST of the time if I can.

Re: Do You Use A Laptop?

Thanks for asking this!! I was totally wondering this and then thought - stop being paranoid but now I feel MUCH better!!! I would put a pillow down and DH would just say - if it's going through your skin babe it's going through those feathers!
