What are your thoughts while 18 weeks pregnant? I’m going to Florida in a couple weeks, would it hurt to go tanning a couple times to get a base tan so I don’t burn?

We also love boating in the summer, pool, etc. needless to say I’ll be outside A LOT. I’m usually quite the sun bather.

I’ve seen conflicting opinions - some say both forms of tanning are okay, as long as you’re hydrated and don’t overheat. Some say just outside sun - no tanning beds. (Which doesn’t make sense to me, I feel like I would get more overheated laying outside than 10 minutes in a tanning bed?)

Does anyone have any insight?

(Also - I know tanning is not good for you. We all have things we like that are bad for us - tanning happens to be one of my things 😂)
