Going on holiday...how to tan the back of my legs?!

[noileena]

Hi ladies

I'm going on holiday in just over a week and although I'm not a big sunworshiper, I know I'll end up doing some sunbathing (sorry for those of you stuck at home all winter!).

So, I started thinking - doing my front won't be a big problem coz I can lie on my back for a bit, but how do I do the back of my legs?! Obviously I can do my back by sitting up on the lounger, facing away from the sun but I'm worried about lying on my front to try and do the back of my legs - I've never slept on my front anyway coz of my (.)(.) but do sunbathe this way. Is it doing to hurt LO?!

Does anyone have any ideas? I bet it's obvious but I'm currently thinking about sticking a semi-inflated rubber ring under my belly - which I doubt would be a good look!

ermmmmm. When your in the pool and walking around you will be suprised you will catch on the back of your legs. Where are you going? Anywhere nice? Sorry im so nosey

Can you physically lie on your front? Because I sleep on my front and asked my MW about it as I was worried about hurting baby but she said it's absolutely fine! I can still lie on my front now lol. It won't hurt baby if you choose to do so. As the other ladies said though you will be surprised how much they do tan just from walking around!! hope you have a lovely holiday

If you can manage lying on your front, do so. I'm supposing that at 15 weeks you have a little bump?? Therefore shouldn't really hamper your position any more than usual. I can still just about manage to lay on my front although it's more of a recovery type position lol. You won't harm bubs in any way doing this, they are very well protected in there. Promise!! xx

Lie on your front with 1 leg bent and bump to one side... Swap sides until desired shade is achieved!

Failing that, stick your bump in a rubber ring whilst you lie on your front!!

I was wondering this as I am going away on holiday next week too

if there is sand where you are going... dig a hold for the bump and (o)(o)? hahaha

Oh thank you for your replies ladies - I knew I was just being dumb!

Jojo-mummy: we were meant to be going to Kenya but then I discovered I was pg and can't take anti-malarials ...so we've had to switch to Morocco - holiday co were brilliant about it though and we got the difference in cost back (which I was amazed at!)

DJ987 and meg79: yeah, I can lie on my front if I have to (but tend to prop myself up on my arms) - but knowing it wont do any harm helps. I've got a bit of a bump - so much so that a woman at work noticed it! I like the recovery position idea....

moomoo- honestly, I did look at ebay this morning for a rubber ring to shove my belly in! And I love the suggestion BabySeal of digging holes in the sand -with a rubber ring on my belly, a bucket and spade in hand to dig holes, I think I'd look ready for a LO!

Thanks for the replies ladies, I'll be thinking of you while wishing I could have something fun of the all inclusive cocktail menu!
