I asked my Dr the same question. He said that there has been no tests or studies done to date that show they can harm the baby but this could always be proven wrong in the future ( as with any study). I used tanning products whilst pregnant with no side effects so far. I guess its a case of "who knows"???

best idea is to see what the ingrediants are in it.... if you think about it all those things absorbe into your body and are going into your baby too!!
From a Bottle: This may be the best option if you are pregnant. Avoiding UV rays will ensure healthier skin and less chance of skin cancer, hives or worsened chloasma. There are so many different kinds of sunless tanning lotions, creams, and foams that have very good results. Many of the new varieties have minimal odor and provide immediate color.
The only concern is whether the active ingredient, dihydroxyacetone (DHA), is able to penetrate the skin. Studies do not confirm that it can, but some health care providers encourage women to wait until after the first trimester, just to play it safe. DHA has been used in cosmetics since 1960 and no problems have been reported. Even if you have used sunless tanners before, try a patch of skin first. Your skin may be more sensitive and irritable during pregnancy.

Yeah, I have seen it in many baby magazines, you can go ahead and apply the self tanner. It's okay.
