The only thing i was thinking about is going in the facial tanner to get some color, but i dont recommend it on your belly and you def dont want to pass out. So see what your dr says about being in a open room in a chair and having a facial bulb just for your face.

I haven't but I've been DYING to. I just wouldn't do it cause of the radiation waves. I know its supposedly "safe" but I don't trust them enough! I'd feel like I'm microwaving my baby lol

I would severely advise against this hun!!! Also you are at a higher risk of passing out-I really just don't think its worth the risk. Sorry hun :(

Oh & you shouldn't be doing it when not pregnant either missy! Do you know you are 50% more likely to develop skin cancer-not to mention what it does to aging of skin!!

The UVA rays produced from a bed (4 min) equals 7 hours in midday 35 deg heat no protection! Dont do it sweet! Ok lecture over lol
