Pregnant and sunbathing

1. There are many misunderstandings about sunbathing during pregnancy. One says it is bad for the unborn baby, another says it can cause a pregnancy mask and another says sunlight is good when you are pregnant. The truth is, prudence is wise, but a little bit of sun won't hurt and may even be good.

Recommendations

1. Sunbathing during pregnancy cannot do much harm. In particular, watch out for sun on the face and sun on the thickening stomach. Get out of the sun if you get too hot and make sure to drink enough to avoid dehydration. Sun exposure of the arms and legs can actually have a positive effect, because it promotes the production of vitamin D.
