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!

Can tanning in a tanning bed cause a miscarriage?

You won't get a miscarriage if you tan. I currently work at a tanning salon and we must know if you are pregnant so that we can inform you to stay hydrated. Tanning beds dehydrate you and so does being pregnant, so if you do go tanning while pregnant be sure to stay hydrated!

If you go tanning in a tanning bed and you are pregnant can it kill the baby?

The UV light from a tanning bed cannot harm the unborn baby. UV light doesn't penetrate deep enough. BUT Tanning while pregnant is not something you should because of the heat factor. Just like you should not go into a hot tub when pregnant...you should not tan when pregnant either. A tanning bed creates alot of heat...that heat can make you(and your baby) uncomfortable. Anything that makes your baby uncomfortable is something you want to stay away from...just to be safe.
