This might sound vain but.....

TeresaGlam

Hey guys might sound vain but screw it. Anyone have legit info on Pregnancy and tanning beds? I'm aware of obvious risks to my health but any risk to the baby? I can't find much info either way. I asked the Dr and he said he'd get back to me.

QFP. And are you serious?

I think this just should be common sense and I'm surprised your Dr didn't laugh at you!! No no no! It's not safe!

mommaa1615

No offense but you'd probably look pretty silly with a fake tan while pregnant/giving birth...use bronser or wait until summer.

TeresaGlam

If the Rays don't penetrate past the first two layers of your skin and your not overheating? What are the risks?

TeresaGlam

Does anyone have actual knowledge on the topic?

jaztastic

"Might sound vain but screw it"... That's a big turn off. Let's just all forget about the importance of being the protectors of our precious unborn children, because you know, being vain takes priority.

Use fake tan lotion.

I would be worried about your temperature if you stay in for too long. As part of treatment for psorasis I was tanning at the doctors office and was told it was safe to continue to do so during pregnancy but I am only under the lights for a couple of minutes so there wouldn't be a risk of getting too hot.

TeresaGlam

Sorry I'm not interested in turning you on

misshart00

But seriously, I laugh every time I open this thread. Thanks OP.

twinklymama

Are you not worried about skin cancer? If I were that vain, I'd be worried about my cancer-ridden skin later.

Why would you need a tan that bad while your pregnant? You seriously can't wait till summer for that!

chickyclg

As someone that had to have skin cancer removed at 18, you sound like a complete fucking idiot.

For the fucking love of God and safety of your baby, JUST DON'T!!

Hey, I gave you good advice!

jaztastic

Something my mom always told me... When in doubt, just don't. This applies to basically every dilemma in life. If you have to question if it's right, safe, acceptable etc... Chances are it isn't, you don't doubt good or sure things. But hey for the sake of vanity, tan your ass off.

@thedish0207‌ she was talking to me in regards to "turn on" because I said her comment was a turn off. Clearly this one isn't bright enough to know that was in regards to her intelligence.

@chickyclg‌ the fact that you got a love tit from OP makes me think this is MUD

I don't know, there's some duckface happening in her baby shower photos.

For the record it is generally not recommended to tan during pregnancy, for three reasons specific to pregnancy issues:
1-can cause folic acid deficiencies-->think neural tube and neurological issues. Mostly a 1t issue.
2-can cause hyperthermia in the baby--bad for so many reasons in any trimester.
3-mom can pick up an infection from tanning beds via contact since pregnant women's immune systems are not as good during pregnancy.

Overall physicians don't recommend tanning at all due to increased risk of melanoma. The other non dangerous but potential occupational hazard for OP is that the tanning bed could exacerbate skin splotches or the mask of pregnancy which may not be apparent without excess sun exposure or even uv-free tanning.

The main ingredient in sunless tanners, DHA may cross the placenta and is generally avoided.

There are no good quality studies or data on this because in general tanning booths are not recommended to any patient for any reason. The risks outweigh the benefits for a purely cosmetic procedure with unknown harm to your unborn child. And obviously no one should consent to a research study where you are slathered in chemicals while pregnant to test self tanner.

OP should look into photoshop. Also most "pregnant" models are not actually pregnant. So the whole thing is a little MUDdy.

And OP, quit acting like a bitch. You don't get to storm the place, demand answers and call others the c word. Not classy at all.

reneamac313

There are some pretty wonderful self tanners on the market that don't carry the risk of skin cancer. It's just plain idiotic to take that risk especially when you are bringing a life into the world that will rely on you.

Also, do you even know about the extent of premature aging that tanning bed use can cause? As a "model" I think that portion would appeal to your vain sensibilities.

chicagojackie

Heh

chickyclg

But what about the tackiness with her new nipple nude shot avatar that appeared after she mentioned she was a "model."

Worst shower I've ever seen... 

She maybe real but I still think this whole should I tan dilemma all of a sudden at 8months is made up bull.

reneamac313

Here you go...
https://www.vitaliberatausa.com/
This doesn't contain most chemicals that are found in self tanners.

usmcwife89

If you're a model then tell them to photoshop you a tan. They're going to photoshop 90% of you anyway.

Tanning is dangerous even to someone not pregnant. Why would you want to put your unborn child through that? Skin cancer is not something I want just to look tan. To each their own- but definitely find anyone who does it pregnant, stupid!

You came here asking for advice, don't get your panties in a bunch when you get answers you don't like.

ETA: you only have a month-ish left... @-)

chickyclg

I'm thinking she's just here for attention.

I mean why else would this be you avatar, someone is trying to lure in the creeps with pregnancy fetishes?

mommaa1615

Lol "model"

TeresaGlam

I love my body and am proud of how it looks especially right now. No disrespect. Much love ♥️.

krysmill

You may be proud of your body but that doesn't mean everyone here wants to look at your naked body. I'm proud of mine but I have a lil more taste then to post a pic like that here.

Chick couldn't have been booking that many modeling gigs to begin with.  Anyone in reasonably high demand would have had the cash to be able to go out and get herself a professional spray tan at a fairly reasonable price.  And frankly any decent company and photog would be high end enough to shoop the images so she appeared tan.

She sounds a little less model and a little more trying to break into San Fernando Valley if YKWIM.

Umm, yes to all of this.

Well then spray tan you dumb ass

Seriously? ? You can't even use the spa while you are pregnant why would you even use a tanning bed. This is beyond being vain.

HayleyBug55

Oh...wow. I understand it's your job and you need money but come on OP. Use your brain!! Unless it's fried from being in tanning beds too much.

PikoPiko

Heck, i should totally moonlight as a model if that sort of figure could book shoots.
