I heard it was cuz doctors dont know if the fake heat/rays or somethin can do any damage to the baby. Theres no proven complications but they havent researched into it enough yet to mark it off as safe. Hope that helps!

Because your body gets too hot! Causing baby to get overheated...That can cause brain damage.

Lol! I dont think its bad if ur in the sun, its tanning beds the doctors are worried about but im sure real tanning still isnt a good thing but its not bad if ur in comfortable clothing and not trying to tan but u get a tan (its morning I think im confusing lol!)

I agree with the girls. I think it has to do more with how the heat rays and hat are so close to the skin that the baby could get overheated more. I mean it is less likely that the baby get overheated normally since it is less likely that you will be standing on the sun. Good luck!!

Hey...If u guys really wana tan spray tanning last awhile ...If u get it done they usually do it at tanning salons and it last awhile if u keep ur body moisterized, and follow the directions they give u... Go as long as possible afterwards without showering and itll settle in with the melinin in your skin deeper for a longer lasting fake tan lol

love mol

and its safe!!

Well if you have strech marks, they make them turn black and they last longer! Like they set in! So being in the sun too much is not good.
