Beach ok: Going to the beach and tanning is perfectly fine when you're pregnant. If later in the pregnancy you begin to get stretch marks, you might cover these areas with a one-piece or a shirt. Stretch marks could get increased pigmentation in the sun and remain more noticeable later on. Tanning will not make stretch marks more, or less, likely.

Do not get burned: Do not get burned, your child does not need a mother with melanoma. As i recommend to everyone use a strong sunscreen every 2 hours and enjoy yourself. Good health.
