Can you go tanning in a tanning bed while pregnant?

Q: I live in Nebraska which as you can probably guess isn’t exactly hot and sunny during the winter. I had a nice healthy color to me for the first time in awhile and I’m already loosing it and I HATE looking so pasty. Is it harmful to the baby if I go tanning in a tanning booth? I would do a spray tan but not only do we not have a good spray tan place around here but I hear they look splotchy after a few days. i have not been in a tanning bed in a couple of months. Mainly because I found out that I was pregnant (not with this baby) so I didn’t go, but I lost that baby and am now expecting again. Once again I have NOT been to one since I’d say September. I know you have to be careful about your core body temp getting too high because you can literally “cook” your baby but I was wondering if I went for only abut 10-15 minutes or before I started to feel hot it it would be safe. I’m already getting pretty pasty seeing how i wasn’t that dark to start with but I don’t want to let my tan go away completely, and those tanning lotions that make you dark just make me look orange if I don’t have a base tan going already.

A: I wouldn’t recommend it because there may be after effects of tanning in a tanning bed that may harm the fetus. Spray tanning may be an option but I wouldn’t recommend it because of the possibility that chemicals could harm the fetus as well. If you are suggesting spray tanning, be very careful not to get the spray tanning in your system. So avoid the obvious areas such as the mouth, eyes, ears, nose, etc. I will just say that it is better to be safe than sorry.

Is tanning on face only safe while pregnant?

Q: I know its not safe to tan while pregnant, so I havent been. I have horrible skin, and the only thing that has ever helped is the tanning bed. There are beds here that have where you can only tan your face and not your body, and I would be in there max 10 mins. They dont get hot at all. Im going to talk to my OB about it but just wanted a heads up before I did.
