Worried about a sunburn!

[EmKaye]

Hi all,

So in typical "paranoid-first-time-mom" fashion, I'm freaking out because I got a pretty nasty sunburn the other day, mainly on my arms and knees.

Is this harmful for the baby? I'm only 5w2d and totally stressing out.

why would a sunburn be harmful to the baby?
its something that occurs naturally right?
i definitely wouldnt worried about it
if it occurs in nature chances are it isnt going to harm the fetus

It won't harm your baby but your skin can be more susceptible to sunburn when you're pregnant so just be extra careful and make sure you put suncream on x
