Tanning?? Waxing??

Can you tan? With tanning lotions or laying outside in sun? Spray tanning?  Not tanning bed..

What kind of wax can you use?? Lotion type stuff you leave on for couple minutes then wipe off or whatever? Or is that kind a no?

I believe tanning outside in the sun is fine, I live in fl and see many mommies to be out on the beach. I'm not sure about tanning lotions I would ask your doctor about those! And I agree with Nat make sure your body temp doesn't get too hot! Stay hydrated.

No tanning in a bed. You can get too hot and it can be dangerous. Spray tan should be fine I think. But I think if your floating on a lake or in a river you can do it for a little bit. Just need to make sure your body temp doesn't get too hot. You can still wax but I've looked into using the stuff that you spread on and then wipe off and apparently the fda hasn't looked into if its safe during pregnancy or not so they recommended me no on it. I specifically looked into Veet. Totally love the stuff but I didn't use it last pregnancy and I won't us it with this one either.
