Tanning During Pregnancy: Is It Safe?

You and the sun are one. You love nothing more than sitting out in the sun, relaxing and soaking up its rays and getting that perfect golden tan. Once the cold weather hits, not one to let Old Man Winter steal your fun, you head over to your friendly neighbourhood tanning salon for some rays via more mechanical methods. If you’re pressed for time, there’s always that gift from the ‘modern convenience Gods’-the spray on tan.

One day, you discover you’re pregnant. Now what? Must you forgo your blissful quest for tanned skin or are there ways you can still get that golden glow along with your pregnancy glow without harming your baby?
