Is it safe to use a tanning bed while I'm pregnant?

It is not recommended that you use a tanning bed during pregnancy as the UV radiation can be harmful. Tanning beds emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which has been linked to an increased risk of skin cancer and other health problems in adults and children. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends avoiding sun exposure during pregnancy, including using sunscreen when outdoors and avoiding tanning beds.
