Is it bad to go to the tanning bed while pregnant?
The UV light only penetrates about an inch into your skin, so
theres no risk to harming the baby while tanning. The only risk
involved in pregnant women tanning is the woman overheating in the
bed, which COULD affect the baby. Doctors usually recommend for
pregnant women to only go 10 minutes at a time in the lowest
strength bed. Most tanning salons require a doctors note from
pregnant women wanting to tan. If you're worried about the bed, try
a spray tan!
