Sunbed whilst pregnant

[dizzy_girl]

is it safe to go on a sunbed when you are pregnant. And can you go on a plane whilst pregnant??

thanks

sunbed is a no-no!

planes are ok usually. It wouldnt be advised in early pregnancy if you had previous history of miscarriages and carriers put a limit as to when you can fly some say 32 weeks some say later. they may also ask for a doctors note.

thats right - sunbeds shouldnt be used whilst pregnant. I think the same goes for direct sunbathing - although not too sure.

You can go on a plane; however it is not usually advised during the early and late stages. Quite often airlines will not be covered on their insurance if you are over 28 weeks i think; although this does depend on the airline

Don't do it.

Also, if anyone has a laptop and is pregnant may I suggest that you place it on a table rather than on your lap. Its just something I heard about the radiation. Better safe than sorry I say.

I agree with all these replies. If you're wanting to fly, check with your doctor first. It's not just the pressure problem when you're pregnant - some countries don't offer adequate tratment if you suddenly went into labour whilst you were there.

Some would say it is not even safe to go on sunbeads even if you are NOT pregnant.

no! no! no!
look what happened to jordon she went on sunbeds while pregnant (after saying she had been told it was safe!! whatever) anyway her baby is blind so that should give you an indication if it is safe or not.
for flying you can but up to a certain date as they dont want you giving birth on the plane.........

Just don't use sunbeds EVER, and if you ARE pregnant, you should have a proffesional you can talk to about these things xD

good luck x

My daughter developed breast cancer 5 months after starting using sunbeds. Coincidence? maybe, but is it worth the risk?? I'd stick to fake tan if I were you :-)
