QuestionI hope this isn't a selffish question, however I was just wondering if tanning while pregnant is harmful? I have quite a few wedding that I am in in the up coming months. I don't necessarily want to be tan just feel a little better about myself. Thank you kindly for your time.
This is my second pregnancy, I have a 9yr. old son, and I am 27. Also the first day of my last period was Nov. 2nd.
AnswerTanning in the sun is harmful whether you are pregnant or not. However, it does not cause any harm to the baby or to the pregnancy. This includes tanning booths or tanning salons. However, be careful. The ultraviolet rays are not shielded in the tanning salons and you can develop third degree burns if you spend too much time in the tanning booths.
