sun
What is the reason we aren't allowed to get sun when pregnant. Unintentionally I got sunburned today with sunblock on. Does it cause complications/miscarriage..I am worried now.

Re: sun
Sunburn, overheat & also the "mask of pregnancy" gets exacerbated (if you have it).

Re: sun
I never get sun burn but I went to Jamaica while I was pregnant, I was 3 months at the time, I got such a bad sunburn on my legs I could not walk. I went to the nurse's office at the hotel and since I was pregnant she couldn't give me anything for the pain. I had to sit in the tub with cool water to help take the sting out of it and I could put aloe on it too.

When i was Prego with dd i was at the beach all the time. I even wore a 2 piece. My dome was so dark! when i got to hot i got out of the sun, and i made sure i drank lots of water. Just like with everything, moderation is key.

Re: sun
The hormones in your body can change the way your skin's pigment reacts. Because of this, some pregnant women are a lot more sensitive to the sun and will burn easier. This also increases the risk for skin cancer.
