Sunbathing while pregnant
Hi Lovely Ladies,
I am off to Florida in three weeks (YEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!). It is about 25 degrees there so my question is, can I sun bath? I love the sun but understand that lots of direct heat might not be good for the baby. I intend to wear a tank-teeny or whatever they are called, rather than a bikini, so there will be a layer of material over my bump (should it chose to show itself by then!).
What are your thoughts?

Enjoy the chance to get some sun while you can!

I went to Gran Canaria when I was 18 weeks pregnant and still wore my usual bikinis; I just made sure I drank plenty of water, applied loads of sun cream frequently and didn't get too hot by taking plenty of dips in the pool!
Have fun!
