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!

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.

Prolonged heat exposure can cause overheating (hyperthermia) which has been associated with some spinal defects of the fetus.
