Skin in pregnancy - Sun

Hi - I am 11 weeks pregnant. I am half Italian and have always used factor 50+ sun lotion. I'm olive skin so naturally tanned. However.. for the first time in my 27 years of living my arm burnt in 22 degrees British sun! I took my jacket off for all of 20 mins.

Is this something that happens when pregnant, that your skin is more "burnable" Sad.

Yep, I've been using factor 50 still got a little burnt, skin is more prone to tanning, burning and apparently extra freckles/pigmentation when pregnant

Yes - I got a tan in the middle of winter while pregnant.

Olive skinned here too and pregnant, I burned my arms at the weekend, it's never happened before - especially in the UK!
