I want to find out if it's safe to use a tanning bed while I'm pregnant.

Tanning beds are not recommended for pregnant women due to the risk of exposure to ultraviolet radiation, which can increase the risk of skin cancer and other health problems in pregnancy. It is best to avoid tanning during pregnancy, as well as after you have given birth. If you do need to use a tanning bed, be sure to wear protective clothing such as a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and sunglasses. Additionally, seek medical advice about whether or not it is safe for you to use a tanning bed.
