Please don't judge me for being vain. I'm in a good friend's wedding at 14 weeks, and I'm so pale. Obviously, I wouldn't go to a tanning bed (even if I'm not pregnant), but I was wondering if anyone had gotten guidance from their ob/gyn on spray tans. It would be a one time thing. Thoughts?

I got a spray tan (not preggo) over the summer and she told me that she's done pregnant ladies frequently and uses all natural products. I think it may depend on where you go? I was neurotic during pregnancy with DS and didn't "chance" it, but in hindsight I'm sure there's no harm? (Naive?)...
I've done it a cpl times (And I still nurse) and just have them avoid the areas that DS would come into skin to skin contact.

I also wondered about this
App they're safe cos the DHA (or whatever) doesnt get absorbed into the bloodstream...but I've also read that you shouldnt get a spray, rather use a cream cos you can inhale the spray and that's not good -- http://www.pregnantchicken.com/pregnant-chicken-blog/?tag=self-tanners

I got two spray tans while I was pregnant. One really early on for my cousin's wedding that I was a bridesmaid at (no one knew yet, hadn't announced and hadn't gained any weight, and one later around maybe 32 weeks just for fun? I didn't worry about it.

I'd use self-tanner over a spray tan you could inhale.

I got spray tans during both my pregnancies. Most now use all natural products....you can even get organic spray tans.
