Protect your baby from radiation… with a dress?
 
 
 

As the Year of the Pig is coming near, many pregnant women in Guangzhou are expecting their baby to be born in the lucky golden pig year. Among all those maternity and baby goods, a kind of dress supposed to shield pregnant women from radiation is selling hot.

Sales of such dress are especially good this year in nearly all shopping malls in Guangzhou. Although the price of such maternity dresses vary from $38.60 to $128.69, there is still a huge demand for them.

Ms. Li, a saleswoman at a maternity dress shop, told this reporter that most buyers were white collar office workers. As these women often work in an environment with much radiation, they are the group who can also afford to buy the clothes.

Currently, most women with child who wear such maternity clothes are those who work in public institutions and enterprises. They are made in various forms. Some are made into robes, while others are made into vests, aprons, or belly clothes.

“Nowadays, we are exposed to so much radiation in offices and we need to take precautionary measures. I have bought three maternity garments that can protect me from radiation. Although they are by no means cheap, I feel it is still worth it,” said Ms. Gao, a young woman who has been in a family way for only two months.

In a telephone interview, a doctor from the Maternity and Childcare Hospital of Guangzhou told the reporter that doctors usually would ask pregnant women to avoid possible radiation sources, such as computers, TV sets and fridges in their daily life. However, doctors seldom suggest pregnant women should wear these maternity clothes against radiation. The doctor hoped that before buying these clothes, young couples should get more knowledge about the clothes so that they won’t cause any harm to the mothers-to-be.
