Omg, that looks awful. Be sure you drink a lot of fluids over the next few days and eat plenty of protein. You're going to need extra energy to heal and you are at extra risk for dehydration. Make sure you call your doctor, too, if it starts to blister. Yikes!
I burnt the crap out of my belly the other day too. Its been 2 days and its still red as a tomato and hurts like a mofo. Insert sad face here because mobile bumpin sucks.
You might consider going to a doctor and seeing if anything prescription is available while pregnant. You don't want blisters or second or third degree burns.
This. I had an ob appointment the day after getting a sunburn two weeks ago and I got a lecture on how getting sunburned can raise babies heart rate because it increases your temperature... And that was just my arms and legs, not belly. I had never heard that before so idk if he was just trying to scare me, but Lucas's heart rate was slightly higher at that appointment. I hope you feel better soon sunburns are miserable::mobile sad face::
That really sucks. Please drink a lot of cold fluids. I was outside on Father's Day sitting in the shade all day and ended up at the hospital for severe dehydration.
Oh man! Im sorry. I too am sunburns but just my face and chest. I agree aloe that burn every chance you get. Aloe works best when its still wet. And lots of water. I hope you can heal quickly!
Ouch!! White vinegar takes the sting out. Cold aloe as well. Feel better!

Oh you poor thing! I got a burn at my shower about a month ago and it was so horrible. It was very painful for almost a week and then just stayed red for a while. I hope yours goes away faster!
Re: What was I thinking?!
OMG! That hurts from here!!! You poor thing. Yes, our pregnant skin is much more sensitive than it usually is. Cover up, sunscreen up, for sure.
Hopefully you can get some relief from some cool aloe. FX that it doesn't blister!
Oh my. That really sucks.
If you can get your hands on Maui Secret Burn to Brown aloe - it helps REALLY fast to relieve pain.
I wore a bikini the other day and I think I spent half of my time making sure I was covered in sunscreen.

Yikes lady!! I have super fair skin so I have been there plenty of times.
I love the Walgreens brand aloe from the fridge, and I swear cold showers help. My friend said to try the lanacaine with aloe.
Like PP's said...drink a ton of water. Feel better!!!
