Sunburn?

in 2nd Trimester
Has anyone gotten a pretty bad sunburn while pregnant at all?  We're on vacation right now and after the 2nd day at the pool (yesterday) my chest is pretty burnt.  I wore stronger sunblock than I ever have in my life, and drank water all day.  Also got in the water often so I wouldn't get too overheated. I read today that when you're pregnant you are more susceptible to burning.  Have any of your doctors raised any concerns, could it be bad for the baby?  I'm worried now and of course vowing to stay covered up for the rest of the trip, if necessary!

    I lay out almost daily. I'm addicted to the sun right now. I have gotten very tan, not burnt. I use 30 SPF. I haven't overheated while laying out, it just feels good Smile

    you on many or any meds? I know one of the ones i take says something about how it could cause you to burn easily. I didn't think much of it until i got a sun burn this weekend, of course we didn't see the sun this summer until almost August. Wear sunblock and reapply often.
