Yes, sunburn can potentially harm the fetus indirectly. While the sunburn itself may not directly affect the fetus, the heat and discomfort from severe sunburn can lead to dehydration and increased body temperature in the pregnant person, which may pose risks to fetal development. Additionally, excessive sun exposure can increase the risk of skin cancer, which can have long-term effects on health. It's important for pregnant individuals to practice sun safety to protect both themselves and their developing baby.
