BAD SUNBURN! HELP!
So yesterday being as beautiful as it was outside, I thought it would be a good idea to sit outside for a little while and enjoy the fresh air...well apparently I forgot to put suntain lotion on my thighs and they are both burnt sooooo bad!
 is still moving and I have my 36 week appt on Wednesday but I am in sooo much pain...anyone know what I can put on it until it starts to go down a bit? I put some aloe on last night but it didn't even help to relieve the pain for 30 seconds!

Had that when I was prego with DS. Found out our skin is a lot more sensitive pregnant. I usually tan, but I burn pregnant.
Just keep with the lotion and lots of water. Keep your body and skin hydrated and you should be fine.
Lather up as much as you can, and you'll probably start peeling soon

I would put all natural aloe on it. That always helps me.
ETA: I just looked at the link the PP wrote and it says no aloe but I don't see why not. It comes from a plant. Maybe it just means the sprays?

Use vinegar..It may smell, but it takes the burn out. And it is safe to use...

Interesting. Vinegar really is like duct tape. 1001 uses. Good to know!

Re: BAD SUNBURN! HELP!
This is gonna sound really gross, but try sitting in some apple cider vinegar. Or soak a washrag with the vinegar and let it just lay on where you are burnt at.
