You see pregnant woman lying on beaches all the time. The answer is yes......ultraviolet will not hurt your baby. UV light only penetrates the epidermis and dermis...of skin for the tanning process. However, you may have a concern if you experience high blood pressure or other pregnancy related problems. One of the main dangers of pregnancy is heat. High heat levels have had effects on the fetus and cause birth defects such as spina bifida. But, most salons are air conditioned and you should not tan or lay in a bed for 20 minutes or more or in
a room that is extremely hot. As always, you should always consult your physician before tanning to rule out an potential problems. |
