Tanning in pregnancy safe?

Question

I've read a couple posts about ladies saying they used tanning beds during pregnancy and it was ok as long as they stayed hydrated and didn't get too hot I wanted to know if any of you have done it or know if it's ok

Answer

Really? Everything I have heard about tanning and pregnancy is a HUGE no. I wouldn’t even do it if I wasn’t pregnant, tanning beds are pretty much a guarantee for skin cancer.

Answer

Tanning beds aren't safe PERIOD. And with a baby in you? Hell no.

Answer

Tanning beds cause skin cancer! 
End of story! They are banned in Australia 🇦🇺

Answer

Answer

I would call your OB and ask 😬

Answer

Hmmmm from my understanding I thought that was an absolute no !

Answer

Eh..... there’s not enough evidence whether it’s safe or not for baby. I can say the high heat is a huge no, especially in the first trimester and I know those beds get REALLY hot. Also, they’re not even safe for non pregnant women... sun screen or not, it has such high risks of skin cancer. 3/4 of the times I got skin cancer was when I used to do tanning beds. I wouldn’t recommend it. A tan can wait until baby is born healthy.

Answer

I've always heard it's not safe.

Answer

Why is someone wanting a tan when they’re pregnant?! Forget the tan and your skin tone - think of your baby and their health. Hit the tanning bed all you want after they’re born when it’s only unhealthy for you, not you and the baby.
