I might be pregnant and I have bought a non-refundable vacation a long time ago. Is it safe to go and tan/lay under the sun/swim in the ocean? Please help, thanks

Of course! And you know, I'd really recommend it before you get too far along when significant travel like that is out of the question. Plus, I don't know of many mothers with new babies that can take such a trip. Take it while you can!
Have fun, enough for me too : )

Better get that vacation in now, since you won't be able to do it at the end of your pregnancy, and probably for a long time after that! Just be careful with the sun; use plenty of sunblock, and be careful with what you eat. There are several foods you should avoid while pregnant, and when you are traveling is when it's hardest to control what you eat, since you're not preparing your own food. But by all means, enjoy yourself, and congratulations on your pregnancy!

Yes it is okay! I had the same problem but my doctor told me it was ok to travel overseas up until my 6th month of pregnancy. Then it's a good idea to stick around town. Just incase something happens. So have fun and get a tan but not too much of one! (oh, and it's not ok to use a tanning bed just incase you didn't know!)

Yes,.. but are you going by ship or plane? Ships have been haveing alot of problems lately (though whole ships dieing or getting sick isn't as interesting or important to the News as the war right now). You may need to consult your/a Doctor if your pregnant and plan to fly (some women's bodies can't handle it,.. they miscarry or deliver early).
Enjoy yourself,.. PLEASE don't get drunk (some people don't think of the obvious),.. drink plenty of fluids (even though you probably don't want to have to pee alot... it's the best balance for enjoying the sunlight),... Oh just go have fun XD

You know, I see nothing wrong with going. If you are at least 2-3 months into your pregnancy, then you run no risk of having a little fun, just don't over exert yourself

First thing wait and find out if your pregnant and second see a doctor. I would say no because risks such as going on a plane even very early can cause unwanted development or a miscarage.

Sure, have fun. Laying under the sun for a prolonged time is not good for anybody. Think about skin cancer and wrinkles.

just check with your OB...make sure you don't need any special vaccines or anything...but I think this early in your pregnancy most vaccines are out of the question....you should see a doctor as soon as you can though. Nothing beats great pre-natal care!
