Tanning Bed While Pregnant! Posted: 05-24-06 13:20pm
As you can see this is a very sensitive
issue. My doctor told me this time
around (my second baby) that tanning beds
and uv rays have been known to cause
neural tube defects in some pregnancies.
I am an avid tanner and love to be tan
myself, but why risk it? So, if your tan
is actually more important than your
baby's health, go for it. Otherwise,
take a break not only from alcohol and all
other toxins, but for your skin as well.
It is only 40 weeks, not your whole
life.
Opinionated,

Hey ladies , I am a big tanner too but
when ur pregnant why risk it? I think we
can handle not being dark for 9 months.
Rather be safe than sorry :p

I was at the Dr. This past friday and
decided to ask if we can tan. His reply:
pregnant or not do it within moderation
(not hours in direct sun) and with
protection is fine! Not tanning bed
though...Just plain old regular sun.

I never went tanning in a bed or anything
its not good for you in the first place so
why anyone would do that while they are
prego is beyond me!
N lol @ sandra wit the cola.. Dat is
funny... You can get a tan and take the
buildup off your bar battery at the same
time hehe.
You can get a tan from going and walking
around in the sun for 20 minutes everyday
you dont need to fry yourself and the
baby.. Dam
