HELP....bad sunburn!!!

thengel

So DH and I are down in Florida right now, and apparently yesterday I overdid it at the pool and I am fried, everywhere but my belly that is which I made sure to keep covered at all times!! So basically my arms and legs look like giant tomatoes and hurt pretty bad....anyone have any good home remedies to help ease the pain?!? Apparently our skin is much more sensitive to the sun while we're pregnant, just a word of warning!!

OUCH!  Sorry to hear you're not feeling good on your vacation. 

You can try putting vinegar on it to take out some of the heat (stinky!) or sometimes I will go buy an aloe plant and cut it open and put pure aloe on it to help heal it faster.   Hope you're feeling better very soon!

I didn't know that pregnancy made me more susceptible to sunburn but it does! I'm sorry you are probably hurting! If your doc allows it you could take an aspirin ( or baby aspirin) but aloe vera and lots of lotion is about it. AND stay covered...

Sunburn ruined our babymoon a couple of weeks ago!  I'm so sorry for you.  To be honest, nothing really helped me except drinking water.  Best of luck!

Try using full-fat plain yogurt and letting it dry on your skin for awhile. I had sun poisoning one year and lathered myself in this, and it stank, the way yogurt can, but it helped ease the pain. GL!

This happened to me in first tri. I took Tylenol for the pain, drank tons of water & used aloe. I also spent a lot of time naked under a thin sheet, it hurt too much to wear clothes!
