Sunbathing

Hi, this is my first pregnancy, I've just finished a weeks holiday in the sun approx 28 a day and I'm 13 weeks tomorrow: I've only just read on line how dangerous sunbathing can be. In sunbathed each day but I have been in the water to cool down whenever I've felt too hot and I have covered my stomach when it's felt hot too: should I be worried? Has anyone else sunbathed for a week at this stage of pregnancy?

    Short answer, did you bake your baby like a potato? NO, and throwing a towel over your belly wouldn't have changed any of that.
    But you did damage YOUR skin and put yourself at risk for melanoma and other nasty skin cancers.
    I am also insanely jealous that you were able to spend that much time in the sun without getting a horrible blistering and painful burn that leaves scars.

    Did she not mean 28 degrees Celsius maybe? Otherwise I'm lost...

    You just now learned how bad the sun can be for you?

    *facepalm*

    The sun is the best source of Vitamin D and warmth. Other than that, it doesn't have much going for it.

    I assume you're asking about whether being overheated possibly hurt the baby, right?  I mean, any damage done to your skin from sun over-exposure obviously wouldn't hurt the baby, just you.  If the "28" reference means 28 degrees Celcius, Google tells me this is approximately 82-83 degrees Fahrenheit.  No big deal.  As for the baby, as long as you stayed hydrated and felt fine, I'm sure baby is fine.  As for you, I hope you wore sunscreen.
