dha tanning beds

Im only 6weeks& 5 days, do you think its safe to use tanning beds. I have heard mixed opionions about it?

Depends where you go, definitely ask a doctor but I know that the one by me uses a product that's purely a DHA protein so I'm assuming its not bad but I'm gonna ask my doc too cuz I'm a pasty mofo, but you can go in a tanning bed, if you go 3 times a week for no longer then 8 min your fine ( depending on the bed), if stick with the lower beds that produce more UVB rays ( the burning rays) because they produce more vitamin d which is essential for the baby, the only danger factor

There is a direct link between tanning beds and melanoma. Melanoma is very serious. Please give up the tanning beds!!! Spray tans or lotions are a better choice!

Sunless tanning products may contain anywhere between 1 to 15 percent DHA; the higher the DHA level, the darker the tan produced. Manufacturers of sunless tan products claim that DHA is a simple carbohydrate sugar solution but a toxicologist who investigated the harmful effects of tanning beds disagrees. Even the FDA has not approved the use of DHA in spray tan booths. The FDA previously approved the use of DHA as an ingredient in tanning products but strictly for topical application only.

I love tanning but would never do it while pregnant....I haven't even gone while TTC b/c I wasn't sure of the effects of it......Really, (and again, I LOVE tanning) it's not good for us, it certainly can't be good for baby......No point in risking it when they all kinds of lovely tanning creams now.....I just talked to my stark white Mom who is going to Costa Rica on Fri. and she used the Jergens 3 day tan ans said it's UNREAL....

tanning bed also cause skin cancer

Tanning beds would go against conventional wisdom of heat causing MS to be worse. If it works for you I guess that is good.

I think as long as her core temp doesn't get too high it should be fine. Some Obs are more conservative than others.

Pregnancy and tanning is always a touchy subject. Some salon owners don’t allow it, while others think it’s completely fine—in fact, many female salon owners say they tanned throughout their own pregnancies. What I hadn’t heard before was a question regarding the safety of sunless tanning while pregnant.

I feel like it's an obvious no for tanning beds.. but what about spray tans?

I am a 23 year old, and was diagnosed over a month ago with persistent (gestational) trophoblastic disease, but have not yet received chemotherapy treatment. I've used tanning beds on and off since my teenage years (never more than once a week as of the past couple years). My question is- will it affect my type of cancer if I were to go tanning in a salon? I understand I should avoid any type of UV rays once I start chemo... but as of right now, is it okay to do so?

Tanning salons are a no no , tanning beds are harmful to the baby.

Talk to your doctor first. Tanning beds are not really healthy to begin with and can increase your chances of skin cancer with out being pregnant. The ultraviolet radiation increases your overall lifetime risk of skin cancer by up to 75% according to the World Health Organization. Tanning beds can also raise your body temperature, which can mimic a fever...and fevers are to be avoided especially in pregnancy. The excessive heat can also cause dehydration.

Im 30 weeks and my doc said tanning beds cant harm the baby that the only worry is getting to hot but she said I will be fine as long as there is a fan on me and im drinking lots of water. Has anyone else used a tanning bed while pregnant?

Why would anything natural like that be bad for you and the baby? On the flip side, tanning beds give you super charges of artificial UV rays from only a few inches away. That's what will fry your baby. Plus, tanning beds are just bad for everyone.

Yeah if your talking about tanning beds you need to stop, pregnant women should not try to heat their stomachs any ways ESP through damaging UV rays that are in those beds as well as saunas, or the spas. Now if your talking about laying outside to tan that's a different story which is completely fine for you and baby just make sure to put on oil and never sit out long enough that you become very hot and also drink lots of water!!

No. And I wish there was because I was a tanning bed-aholic for 8 years, I'm 25, and I too have psoriasis. But I stopped because of a mole my dr. removed that when tested they thought it would eventually have turned into melanoma. And they had to take more skin from the area so now I have an ugly scar on my leg. The euro tanning beds that you only go three times a month call themselves the "safe" tanning beds, because they do not contain some certain UV light that causes burning...
