Okay, so we went to the pool today and I wore my usual 30 on my body and skipped sunscreen on my legs (which is the norm)...After about an hour, my belly started getting a bright red pattern to it. I wasn't in a bikini, my belly was actually covered! Any one know why it would have gotten blotchy? Also, I didn't realize pregnancy skin is more sensitive...so I am FRIED!!! I was only out for two hours. Crazy! But I planned to stay out in the sun until my little girl makes her arrival since I'm a teacher and this is my last week of work. I have a doctor's appointment this week, so I'll ask my midwife, but I just wondered if anyone else had this same problem.
Re: in the sun too long
It faded after about 4 hours of being in the air conditioning...So I have no idea! My husband was freaking out though! He is such a worrier!
