Spray Tan?

in 2nd Trimester

Hi ladies, seeing as my OBGYN's office is closed at the moment, I thought I'd get a faster answer on here.

 Have any of you spray-tanned while pregnant?  I read mixed things online.  I have a wedding to go to this weekend and I'm considering spray tanning to look hot :-)

 Bad idea?  TIA Smile

    I'm pretty sure no research has been done on spray-tanning while pregnant.

    I did about a week ago and so did my sister who is 27 weeks along. My girl uses all natural products tho. Maybe ask the place ? But I think one time you will be fine.

    I would not do the booth- but you could have someone spray you so you are less likely to inhale.

    Your baby will come out orange. with 3 ears.

    No, just kidding, you should be fine just doing it once or so. ?Just don't let too many fumes into your system.?

    I wouldn't be to concerned about spray tan. It can't be much worse than dying your hair right? I would not call my doc after hours to ask that question though.

    I get a spray tan once or twice a week and have been doing it for about 3 months now.  I try not to enhale the fumes, but it really isn't harmful.  I spoke with my OB about it.  Plus, for me, a tan mommy is a happy mommy and a happy mommy is a happy baby (within reason of course).

    just did it today as well...did it two weeks ago. the fumes arent really that bad and if you think they are just hold your breath :) it takes all of what 30 seconds so I think you are fine

    My ob said no to spray tan and to sunless tanner, which I was really annoyed about . . . I am a very pale Irish girl!  But I did find a great body bronzer at Sephora (Lorac Tantalizer) that is just basically body makeup that gives you a glow and then washes off . . . it's great!

    I did it at Planet Tan, it is a sugar based formula so as long as you are diabetic or anything then you should be fine. ?I did it before a wedding I was in a few weeks ago, I did stand in the booth because it is much cheaper. ?I didn't feel like I inhaled much or anything like that. ?I hope that helps.
