Did anyone burn more easily when pregnant?

27, mixed race, dark skin. Never had sun burn in my life. Covered in factor 30 yesterday and still burnt on my shoulders quite badly. I'm 15 weeks pg and have noticed that my skin is super sensitive, to hot and cold, so guess this may be why I burnt so easily yesterday? It was only 21 degrees where I was so not stupidly hot. Now sat indoors, still covered in factor 30, 24 degrees outside, too hot to cover up but scared I'm going to burn even more! Don't have any factor 50 and am 20 miles from any shop (cabin holiday in the middle of nowhere) - any ideas? Anyone else experience sensitive skin in pregnancy? Not loving these ridiculous tan lines either!

Yes and I also get weird pigmentation on my face after sun exposure 'mask of pregnancy' forget the proper name for it. Had it in my first pregnancy and already appeared this time round despite factor 50 and a hat! Have you got a loose sarong type thing you can cover up with? Or jist reapply factor 30 more frequently?
