Sun Exposure

I'm going to the beach for a week and want to know what precautions I need to take with being in the sun.  Fortunately the temperature is supposed to be in the 80's.  Other than staying hydrated and not getting overheated, is there anything else I need to think of? Thanks!

Re: Sun Exposure

  • I wouldn't think so. I've been swimming in the ocean and stuff. You can probably still use sunscreen.. the baby is protected. Wear a big hat, sit under an umbrella and enjoy yourself! I know my sis in law went to the beach a lot with both her pregnancies and niece and nephew are very healthy and love the beach!

  • Just make sure to use lots of sunscreen.  You are more prone to brown spots (melasma) when pregnant.

  • I find being in the hot sun more difficult since being pg.  Just pay attention to how you feel, drink lots of water and wear sunscreen - good advice pg or not.
