there isn't much info on tanning while pregnant . Try using self tanner or a spray tan to get colour . I've done it and my ob said it was complelely fine (: I'm 31 weeks and baby is healthy

Not a good idea you can literally cook the baby... the heat heats the inside of your body resulting in heating you amniotic fluid which can burn/ cook the baby resulting in miscarriage or still birth..... no no no tanning

Tanning is not good any time...let alone when you are pregnant.

Just like taking hot baths and sitting in a jacuzzi, tanning shouldn't be done. Baby has no way to cool itself down

Tanning is not a good idea when pregnant. At least in a bed its not because of the heat and what not. I love a good tan myself, but i am holding off because i don't want to overheat the baby. Maybe  layout by a pool so you can step in and  cool off would be better option.
