Would organic tanner be okay?

in Success after IF

This is such a dumb question.  I haven't done any type of tanning since I've been pregnant.  My RE told me not to use sunless tanner b/c of the chemicals.

Now I have a few weddings coming up and I would love to wear a nice dress.  My legs and arms are just SO pale.  Anyway, I will embrace my paleness if it's better for the baby.  I just found an organic sunless tanning lotion that I would like to try.  It's make of "certified organic botanicals".  That should be safe during pregnancy, right??

    If your doctor said no self tanner, then organic is irrelevant. Remember,  poisons can be organic!

    I used regular tanner from Sephora.. I took the bottle to my OB and he looked at the ingrediants and told me to go ahead.. He also said I could do a spray tan (booth kind) once or twice during my pregnancy.  Not frequently, but okay for a special occasion....  just make sure it doesn't contain salastylic acid (sp?) it's basically asprin and a no no...

    I wouldn't do it.  Just because it's organic does not mean it's safe for your baby.  At the least, talk to your OB before using it.

    Ok, thanks girls.  That's sort of what I expected to hear.  I'll problably keep rockin the paleness to be on the safe side:)

    Ooppssss....I used one recently & didn't even think twice about it, that is pretty bad. I had a wedding to go to & was wearing bare legs so I just put some on the night before on my legs, one time. I am not really nervous about it to be honest & I think that there has never been anything to prove that it is harmful, especially if you're not planning to slather it on everyday & if you're out of the first trimester... but better safe than sorry of course, ask your OB what s/he thinks if you want to give it a try (although sounds like you're ok w/ not doing it). Just my opinion.

    The March of Dimes says it is 'probably fine' to use them. "Probably" since there are no real studies out there.

    Marijana can be organic too if its certified and grown without pesticides. Wink That doesn't mean it's healthy. lol
