Hello!
I am 12 weeks pregnant and have very pale skin. I am usually tanning, but now I am not sure if I should because of my pregnancy. Is anyone familiar if I could tan myself while pregnant?

I think you could. But important is to protect some of the parts of body, such as nipples.
Best wishes and happy pregnancy!

It is still safe if you will delay your tanning for your baby's sake. Although 9 months is too long it is worth waiting. You are assured for your baby's health when you procrastinate your tanning. Prioritize your health as well as the baby. You can ask expert doctors if you really wanted to get tan while pregnant.

I found out I was pregnant 2weeks before I was going to Cancun for Spring Break, so I was definitely wanting to know the answer to this question. I asked my doctor and he went on the skin cancer route, so my friend bluntly asked "No, she wants to know, is she going to cook the baby?!" My doctor said I should be fine, as long as I don't get overheated! He said it wouldn't harm the baby if I wasn't doing long sessions.
