I was sunburnt at the begining of my pregnancy (about 6 weeks) really badly on my chest. It has since healed, but the skin still is red and has bumps all over. It doesnt itch, but its just ugly. I have really nice skin everywhere else. Is it the pregnancy hormones that caused the bumps? Do you think itll go back to normal after the babys born? Im 25 weeks along now.

Well in some cases yes and some cases no. I am a red head and as you know we are very fair skin. I still have red bump on my chest from a sun burn i got when I was 14. I am now 22 and they still haven't went away nor was I pregnant. I have asked the doctor and sometimes it/was a sign of sun poisioning. NOTHING to worry about though!

I would ask your doctor....you shouldn't get sun burn when you're pregnant anyways because it can cause problems with the fetus. I did once on accident (the lotion was old and wasn't as effective, but I didn't know that) and I didn't have a problem, it healed like normal. Kinda strange, but pregnancy does do strange things. double check with the doc, okay. Good Luck!

I think that you should ask the midwife at your next antenatal appointment about this. That will be a safer way of getting the info you need.
Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy!
