Air brush fake tanning...OK?

I'm 24 weeks and am booked to have an airbrush fake tan tonight. It's not like one of those big booths, but a directional, small air brush that a lady "Paints" you with. She has assured me that it's fine in pregnancy and all the research I have done suggest that nothing much sinks too far into the skin, but I'm still feeling a little nervous.I have a big work do at the weekend and would love to look glowing even if I have to fake it! Has anyone else continued with fake tanning or stopped in pregnancy?

Sorry you haven't had any replies about this...I am not sure if it is safe or not but they say some sprays aren't good.

Did you do it last night?! How do you look?!

I had 2 done in my last pregnancy and it was fine :) I even asked my MW if it would be okay, after googling for days beforehand

I personally would not, when pregnant I am quite picky about what I out on my skin and try to keep all creams natural as possible. Fake tans are full of chemicals so I would not use them.
But if there is no evidence to prove it dangerous then I guess its up to you.
