Health experts have cautioned pregnant women against getting exposed to radiation, noting that it can cause stillbirth and other health complications.

According to the experts, swallowing or breathing in any substance that has the capability of emitting radiation is dangerous in pregnancy as it could lead to the death of the baby in the womb.

According to the radiologist, when a woman accidentally ingests radioactive materials, she may absorb it into her bloodstream and it may pass through the umbilical cord to the foetus. “If a woman that is pregnant does this, she may absorb that substance into her bloodstream, when it is in the mother’s blood, the radioactive materials may pass through the umbilical cord to the baby or it can concentrate in areas of the mother’s body near the ovaries like the urinary bladder because the urinary bladder will secrete it and expose the foetus to the indirect radiation.

Fr. Is it your banning? Oya goan unban it ShehuSani is pushing a false narrative here. Mbaka's personal attack on PeterObi's was a campaign of calumny against him. It has nothing to do with his performance as a public office holder. Sheikh Khalid attacked Buhari's performance as a public office holder.
