Soaking up the sun?

[KaliBrooke]

So I always see these pregnant women who have a tan. Since my pregnancy will go through the summer I was wondering if it is alright to at least get a little tan outside with the sun? I know that I need to make sure I don't get overheated and should still wear some sunscreen, but is it really all that bad to soak up some sun...I feel like a lot of people do it. (:

Its safe just have water handy and sun block my friend got sun burn on her poor belly because she didnt put enough on

I was told to get at least 20mins of sun everyday without sun block so I don't see how natural tanning would be much different. Maybe if you plan to lay out longer than 20mins maybe put on a low spf so you don't burn. Natural sunshine is the best way to get vitamin D

Lol, there's no beaches here..just a backyard. You're lucky! I'll have to think of something...maybe one of those blow up pool floaty things that look like a donut and lay my belly in that..idk? Something has to work (:

Yes it's safe! And if you need to tan your back, dig a hole  for your belly and cover it with a towel! I was at the beach swimming and tanning the day before I had my daughter. Gotta love the fl life!

Yes tanning in sun is safe just dont let yourself burn and stay hydrated :-)

Awesome! My skin is that awkward white where my legs look discolored in places. So even a light tan would boost my self esteem since I'll also be big..lol

My sister went tanning her whole pregnancy and her Dr just told her drink lots of water and if she felt over heated then stop tanning .. my niece is 11 months today and perfect (:

I was pregnant during the summer with both of my sons and will be this one as well my doctor told me it was okay but for no longer then an hour at a time and make sure you have a bottle of water with you

I don't really have a good answer for that but if it is safe go for it. For me it ***** because even though I am one of the lucky ones to have the pregnancy glow and I haven't gained not even 1 lb since the moment I got pregnant I can not stand the sun, not even for a minute, I used to love the beach and being in the sun. Now I have to be in dark places no sun rays hitting me, it annoys me and now that the baby moves and I can feel it, it drives him/her nuts inside as well.
