<human>: I want to find out if it's safe to use a tanning bed while I'm pregnant.
<bot>: It is recommended that you avoid using tanning beds during pregnancy, as they can increase your risk of skin cancer and other health problems. Tanning beds emit ultraviolet radiation (UVR) which can be harmful to developing fetuses. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends avoiding UV exposure from indoor tanning devices at all times, including during pregnancy. You should also consult with your doctor before using any tanning device for medical advice specific to your individual situation.
