owie.. sunburn =[

Was out in the sun for alittle bit after swimming to dry off the other day. I felt myself burning faster then usual so i got out of the sun (no more than 15 min) and igot a pretty bad burn. Is skin more sensitive to the sun during pregnancy? Are there any sunscreens i should avoid?

When your pregnant your skin is extremely sensitive to the sun. There's something in the prenatal pills that make you really sensitive. I went camping for a few days and I got a really bad sunburn on my face. When I got home my face was starting to swell and the next day my eyes were a lot swollen shut. It was terrible. I've learned not to go out in the sun while pregnant without sunscreen Haha
