Tanning?

Question

I am going to cancun at the end of march that will put me at 10 weeks. I am about 6 weeks right now. Is it safe to go tanning in a bed 5 minutes at a time? I only want to go 3 or 4 times just so i dont burn while im there. Any thoughts? This is my first pregnancy. Please no rude comments.

Answer

NO not safe at all..

Answer

I would reconsider going to Mexico at all, due to risks of Zika.

Answer

Do a spray tan instead

Answer

I wouldn’t go to Mexico at all due to Zika ...

Answer

No tanning beds at all. Also, you’re doctor likely isn’t going to approve of a Cancun trip with Zika still a risk. 
“A lot of bug spray” isn’t a good way around it

Answer

Honestly, before you let people scare you into avoiding vacation due to zika, spend some time on CDC. You'll see that its it's not all the fear it's cracked up to be. Also not all women who contract zika pass it to the child. I spent hours on CDC before I went to Mexico last year. Have fun!

Answer

I used to work in a tanning salon. The salon won't allow you to use the beds if they know you are pregnant, your skin is more sensitive and more likely to burn.

Answer

Not safe!!

Answer

The tanning place won't even allow you to if they know you're pregnant. They could get shut down for that (at least where I live)

Answer

HORRIBLE idea.
Just wear spf 50 when you’re on holiday, and regularly cool off in the shade/pool, and stay hydrated.
Tanning beds are dangerous enough for someone who isn’t pregnant, let alone someone who is.
