Went to the beach on Saturday, and got sunburned from the bases of my fingers up to my scalp (thankfully, I wore a tank top and pants). The skin around the neckline of my shirt is swollen, bumpy, and sore to the bone. I have blistered patches on my shoulders, each about the size of my palm. I had a fever/chills for a few days (still have to wear socks, or my teeth start chattering), along with nausea and vomiting (morning sickness and sun-related nausea feel very different to me). I had a mild headache for a few days, and a few instances of feeling faint, particularly the day of (I've never actually fainted, though, so I don't know if that is 100% accurate.) I was a little dizzy, though I've also been dizzy off and on the past few months. Basically, I had/am recovering from textbook sun poisoning.

I haven't sought medical attention because this is, to me, a normal sunburn. (For the record, I'm so white I'm transparent - really, you can follow arteries from above my elbow to halfway up my hand at a glance.) I've been through sun poisoning about a dozen times. But... I'm pregnant. Would that change your approach in this situation? I do plan to go back to the beach while I'm pregnant (though with an oversized t-shirt and heavy duty waterproof sunscreen), but knowing me, it could be just as bad if it were actually sunny the whole time.

ETA: And yes, skin cancer is common in my family, despite the fact that we never tan, rarely bare our shoulders outdoors, and are pretty good about sunscreen and seeking shade. I REALLY hope our kids get their skin from their daddy.
