Tanning bed?

ginmae78

I've seen a post on here about tanning before but haven't been able to find it again to check out the feedback and now I'm curious. I don't tan and haven't in many, many years. I'm not looking for opinions, but FACTS about how/if tanning @ any point of pregnancy TRULY affects the baby? Thanks to anyone who is knowledgeable on this topic

Tanning is a no-no for the same reason as hot tubs, saunas etc. Anything that raises your body temperature above 102'F isn't safe.

Like she said the reason not to is bc you don't want to increase your internal temp. There are new beds that have built in a/c so you don't overheat. But most salons wont let you tan anyway. Another option is getting an airbrush tan. Not the automatic Booth that turns you orange. I had a live person airbrush tan me, so no chemicals in your face! Plus they make a custom color for your skin tone. I think I paid like 20 or 25$. A cooky lady did it, but she was pretty hilarious and I was very comfortable. hope this helps!

Dont know how true it is but Ive heard that tanning during pregnancy can cause your baby to be blind due to the ultra violet rays.
