I always have. Only problem seems to be both my kids have been a funny shade or orange when born..Wink
Im pretty sure the DHAs(??) in fake tan that make you go brown are just sugar so do no harm.

Lol i hate the way we have to second guess everything when we're expecting!

I've got a wedding next sat so I'll just do my arms legs and chest a couple of times this week!

Not even started lookin for a dress yet, nearly 30 weeks so I'm rocking a good belly!!

i always have, i am sure its fine

afaik it only goes down to the first layer or so of skin anyway

That's what I do! So I have a great big white bit in the middle!!! I find it dries my skin out a bit anyway so just avoid my belly cos I figure it's going through enough!

I don't know the "proper" answer but my salon have never refused to tan me - when I do it myself I miss my bump out though (I'd spend a fortune on fake bake otherwise!)

My belly and bum were left out pre pregnancy if I had fake bake st tropez or anything decent cant waste a bit lol they only ever get done if I've bought a cheap bottle, poor bf haha
