Is it bad to get too much sun while pregnant?

Answer 1

Nope, not as long as you're careful not to overheat and keep drinking water so you don't dehydrate. Being out in the sun and at the lake was one of the few stress-relievers that worked beautifully through my pregnacy. And swimming is absolutely wonderful when pregnant -- nothing in the world better for your tired back and stomach muscles!

Answer 2

No, because as you dehydrate so does your baby. Answer Whether you are pregnant or not, if you expose yourself to too much UV light, the ionising radiation could potentially cause mutations within your skin cells, thus leading to cancer; an inevitable result due to too much exposure to the sun.

Answer 3

Tanning during pregnancy is just as safe as tanning in direct sunlight. Even though there is no evidence that the UV light used in tanning beds reach the baby, there is still some controversy about tanning during pregnancy. Many doctors and midwives advise against using tanning beds (also exposure to the natural sun), while others recommend they be used with caution. Anything that will raise your core body temperature, such as hot tubs, saunas and tanning beds can be harmful to your unborn baby, including general over-exposure to the sun. Overheating (also called hypothermia), particularly during the first trimester, can result in developmental damage to your baby, including spinal malformations. I would say no, but its your choice!@!!
