Pregnancy and suntan lotion/sun block

I'm 16 weeks pregnant and going to Tennerife this week. Does anyone have advice on best suntan lotion? I burn easily at the best of times and the last time I was in the sun (in the UK) my face went red and patchy despite applications of factor 30. I've read stuff about chemical vs physical lotion/sun block but don't know how much to worry about the chemicals! What does everyone else do? Thanks!

I just use whatever sun cream and don't worry about it at all. I usually use what I buy for my DS.

However I've been extra sensitive to the sun this pregnancy (total nuisance as I live in the US where it's super hot and sunny this time of year and I have a toddler so I can't just stay inside all day). I've burnt even wearing factor 50 kids sun cream, so I'm totally paranoid about it and try and cover up as much as possible to prevent burning, but I also wear the cream
