"Will the genetic damage, since in blood, transmit to unborn babies and cause them to be genetically weaker?"

No. You failed biology class, didn't you?

There are two reasons that's not possible.

1. A child's genetic material comes exclusively from germ cells--sperm and eggs. Even if EM emitted by cell phones was harmful, you hold your phone next to your head, not next to your ovaries.

2. Blood isn't "transmitted" between mother and child. As a woman and *someone writing about health topcis*, I would expect the author to be aware that one of the functions of the placenta and umbilical cord is to allow the mother and child to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste products without actually sharing blood.

Please, do some research next time.
