*baby mentioned*

OK so today I went to the baby time show with a friend of mine and her baby, and I made one purchase called "Belly Armor" which is a blanket that protects your unborn baby from radiation from cell phones, wifi laptops, etc. And since I always use my laptop ON my lap, I bought it and figure it would be a good idea to start using it now. So because of this purchase I decided to do some research 


Holy crap. DH has carried his cell phone in his pocket, right next to his balls of course, for YEARS!!! So the second he gets home I'm telling him TAKE IT OUT NOW (the phone, not his balls LOL) !!!!!

    @calindi my apologies, I thought putting it at the beginning of the post was enough. I'll fix it right now :)

    Yeah, as soon as my husband got his SA results he googled everything and saw that. He always keeps his phone in his pocket and then streams music via Bluetooth for his entire commute on the train, about an hour each way everyday.

    Needless to say he stopped that as soon as he heard, all his numbers (except motility) on his SA really increased (he also limited his drinking though too) and he was sick during his second SA too, so you could tell it had some impact! It can't hurt making your DH take it out of his pocket :)

    I didn't think about the laptop on the stomach thing and all that type of stuff. It will be interesting to see the actual impact in the future for all this techy type stuff.

    My DH had asked me to google things to help better his SA but I never came across cell phone radiation (I guess I'm not as good with google as I thought!). What made me look it up was the website for the blanket I got mentioned male infertility so I looked it up! I have a youtube video sitting and waiting on DH's desktop for him to see when he gets home! I figure that's easier then having him read a long confusing medical study  :P Not that he wouldn't understand, it just gets to the point faster lol.

    I am new to these boards and still working on figuring this all out. But, can you please explain to me why the very vague passing mention of a baby in this post warranted two warnings and a public scolding for initially only having one warning? 

    It just seems a little dramatic.

    I wasn't trying to come in "guns a blazing," it was an honest question. 

    I am obviously on this board because I am struggling with infertility, so please don't say that I have no clue what I am talking about. I have had a new baby in my life every month since last September and that will continue through August. So I know the feeling of being surrounded by pregnancy and babies and the pain that can cause. 

    If the post was about a baby/child specifically, I would understand the reason for the warning. It just seemed a bit much because this post wasn't about a baby. My question was answered and now I understand. There is no reason to be rude.
