Hi there - I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I am just starting my 7th week of my first pregnancy. I am so excited and like everyone else here, I want to stay active and healthy during my pregnancy.

I have a question. I have been using my Tanita body fat scale for years including since I became pregnant. As I'm sure you all know, it measures body fat by sending a small electrical current through your body. How bad is this for the baby! I am going to go buy a new scale today that just measures body weight and I will shelve my Tanita scale until after I deliver....but how bad is that that I have been using this scale that sends an electrical current through my body!!

Thanks for any and all advice. Looking forward to getting to know everyone here.
