Best Answer

In a tanning bed, the ultraviolet rays enter your body and reflect off of each other (similar to a microwave). Hopefully everything is alright, but I would not continue tanning for the duration of your pregnancy.

Indoor tanning is VERY DANGEROUS at the best of times. The harmful rays damage your skin. Stop the tanning immediately. If you haven't over done the tanning sessions, everything should be ok. NO MORE...

There is no hard evidence suggesting that tanning during a pregnancy will cause harm to the unborn baby, but it is strongly advised that you speak with your doctor first. The heat associated with lying in a tanning bed can be potentially harmful for the baby and mother. Prolonged heat exposure can cause overheating (hyperthermia) which has been associated with some spinal defects of the fetus.

Can tanning in a tanning bed cause a miscarriage?

You won't get a miscarriage if you tan. I currently work at a tanning salon and we must know if you are pregnant so that we can inform you to stay hydrated. Tanning beds dehydrate you and so does being pregnant, so if you do go tanning while pregnant be sure to stay hydrated!

If you go tanning in a tanning bed and you are pregnant can it kill the baby?

The UV light from a tanning bed cannot harm the unborn baby. UV light doesn't penetrate deep enough. BUT Tanning while pregnant is not something you should because of the heat factor. Just like you should not go into a hot tub when pregnant...you should not tan when pregnant either. A tanning bed creates alot of heat...that heat can make you(and your baby) uncomfortable. Anything that makes your baby uncomfortable is something you want to stay away from...just to be safe.

Is it bad to go to the tanning bed while pregnant?

The UV light only penetrates about an inch into your skin, so theres no risk to harming the baby while tanning. The only risk involved in pregnant women tanning is the woman overheating in the bed, which COULD affect the baby. Doctors usually recommend for pregnant women to only go 10 minutes at a time in the lowest strength bed. Most tanning salons require a doctors note from pregnant women wanting to tan. If you're worried about the bed, try a spray tan!

How long should you wait to go tanning after getting your belly button pierced?

It is NOT RECOMMENDED to go tanning after any body piercing. When lying in a tanning bed, the jewelry that is in a new piercing will heat up and burn your raw pierced skin. This is not good for the healing process. I'm not sure what happens if you do, but to be on the safe side, DON'T TAN WITH A NEW PIERCING!!!!
