Thoughts on tanning while pregnant?
So I had my 2nd ob appt & this one is the first time I got to see my ob dr. I talked to him about the meds, things I did or took before I knew I was pregnant that I said made a little worried I did any damage. I brought up I went to the tanner while I was pregnant but before I knew and quit right after I found out. My ob dr. Said tanning was fine doesn’t hurt the baby. That you would have to raise your internal core temp to over 102 to do any damage and tanners just don’t get that hot let alone raise your temp that high. He explained the only risk you run is developing skin cancer but that’s normal even if you weren’t pregnant. So I asked its safe to tan while pregnant then? He said yep perfectly fine our bodies protect the baby and no harm. I was kinda relived because during the winter I love going and getting a few mins of vitamin D. I also was happy to hear it doesn’t hurt the baby. But ladies what are your thoughts on tanning while pregnant? Before I had talked to the dr. I was just planning on using sunless tanner to keep a nice little glow. But now I’m tempted to go a few times a week to help clear up this new acne I have received since being pregnant. Just wondering if anyone has done this and had their baby and everything was okay or had issues?
