PG and sunscreen

isabella22

When you were pg, or if you are now, did you dr say anything about not using sunscreen?  I was at an unrelated dr appt when ttc came up and my dr mentioned that she is concerned about sunscreen since it hasn't been studied in pg.  I was surprised.

Nope.  But my OB is really laid back.

They did mention bug repellent though.

Yeah, my dr was for pg#1, so I was surprised by her comment.

I was not warned against using sunscreen in either pregnancy. In fact, I always assumed it is extra important to USE it, because your skin is more sensitive and prone to burning when you are pregnant. I knew that but also found out the hard way that it is definitely true. I used sunscreen religiously (always, but especially during pregnancies) after I learned the hard way when I forgot one time.
