Warning: Using a mobile phone while pregnant can seriously damage your baby – Health News, Health & Wellbeing – The Independent — So you don’t think that perhaps the real reason for the abnormality is simply because the mom is a chatterbox psycho who cannot get off the phone and has to be jabbering all day and night non-stop with every idiot she knows?
Women who use mobile phones when pregnant are more likely to give birth to children with behavioural problems, according to authoritative research.
A giant study, which surveyed more than 13,000 children, found that using the handsets just two or three times a day was enough to raise the risk of their babies developing hyperactivity and difficulties with conduct, emotions and relationships by the time they reached school age. And it adds that the likelihood is even greater if the children themselves used the phones before the age of seven.

British study, the swedes have seen supernanny. We think: it’s hard to have a child when you are one.
I can reassure readers that the human body is a useless radio antenna.
Foolish behavior teaches foolish behavior.
Correlation does not imply causation.

What ever happened to cranky geeks?
Aren’t the british the ones who banned Wifi in public schools because of their supposed health risks?
Please correct me if I am mistaken.
When is someone going to stop funding these studies and use the money to fix real problems.
I think cellphone use is the SYMPTOM, not the CAUSE!

If you actually READ the article, they haven’t concluded anything yet. This is just a preliminary study.
“They add that there might be other possible explanations that they did not examine – such as that mothers who used the phones frequently might pay less attention to their children – and stress that the results “should be interpreted with caution” and checked by further studies.”
But of course, like many cell phone users, the researchers have to bla, bla, bla, every mundane moment of their insignificant lives in order to get the attention they crave and feel important.
Here we go again. The sky is falling, the sky is falling.

What a health concern
As a young woman out and about how you be 100 % sure that you are not… with child
Not without the medical test and even then
Always now a potential health risk to that unborn child
How are these poor women now going to yack on the phone nonstop while driving ?
I guess it’s discriminatory against women
The article didn’t mention whether it was excessive use of the “vibrate” mode by female cell phone users.
Deformed babies, brain tumors… I don’t think it matters anymore.
Society wants these phones and will never give them up.
Stopping cell phones is as inconceivable as giving up cars to save the highway deaths.
As a country, we’re willing to pay that horrific price for convenience.
Ah I thought this was going to be about the radiation from cell phones and the fetus exposure to it. Good to see that they are studding the effects of something else that’s even MORE bogus than what I mentioned above.
Why are people making up bullshit studies about harmful effects about cell phones? They against the high cost of text mesg fees, or the expensive calling plans you have to sell your soul for two year?
I mean why are people wasting their time on this bullshit when there’s more important things we need to study about. Like cures for diseases would be nice. We haven’t cured a diseases in over 60+ years since Polio.
And we probably won’t cure any more. Its far more profitable to treat the symptoms of disease then to actually cure it.
We didn’t cure polio. We learned how to prevent it. We have learned how to prevent AIDs, but the medicine is so much harder to take than a lump of sugar that it ain’t working out so well.
C’est la vie.
