Summary
This study looked at 128 pregnant women in their third trimester to see if smartphone addiction is linked to changes in fetal heart rate, blood flow in the uterus, and birth weight. Participants were assessed for phone addiction, and their babies were monitored with ultrasound and weighed at birth. The goal is to understand if too much phone use could be a risk factor during pregnancy.
