Hi Doctor, I want to learn tailoring, but there are people saying that using a sewing machine (esp foot pedal) will have a negative effect if i am trying to get pregnant. is it true?? not able to find any details on net. I am planning to get pedal motor for my machine. for that also my friends are saying, that magnet of running motor will have side effect. Please guide me..
Hi, There is no established relationship between using a sewing machine and fertility. It is true that any severe exertion during the early stages of pregnancy when the embryo implants into the uterus can cause a miscarriage. It is perhaps in this context that the notion of fertility being affected exists. A pedal motor causes vibrations and as such can cause miscarriages while it is used during early pregnancy. If you are trying to conceive now, it would be better if you can postpone your plans for the time being. Hope this helps.
