How to Tan Your Back During Pregnancy
A pregnant woman has to be exceedingly careful in everything she does, and at every step of the pregnancy it is crucial for her to take into account her own health, as well as the safety of the baby. In order to continue looking great during the pregnancy, you might feel tempted to maintain your tan. While tanning the front of your body will be easy enough, the major question for you is how to tan your back. Since you cannot afford to put any weight on your belly, lying on your stomach is not an option; on the other hand, if you neglect your back during the tanning session, you are likely to end up with an unattractive and uneven colour. However, while it might seem difficult, it is not impossible, and there are a number of alternate methods which can be adopted in order to tan your back during pregnancy.

1
Sit on a towel
You may go to a beach and tan by sitting on a towel, allowing the sun to naturally tan your body from all sides. You can place yourself in a position where the sun rays directly strike your back (it is recommended that you place a small towel on your belly to save it from the sun rays). Keep in mind, however, that you might be tempted to lie down because sitting under the sun for long periods of time can be frustrating. When you get tired, make sure you lie down on your back. -

Get on your hands and knees
If you get tired of sitting on a towel, you may get down on your hands and knees in a crawling position. This can sound a touch weird to some; however, it remains an extremely effective way to tan your back. -
3
Try lying on your side
If you want to enjoy the sun and relax while tanning, you can lie on your side, instead of lying on the belly to expose your back to the sun. If the muscles of one side get tired after a while, just change the position and lie on the other side. -

Sir backwards on a chair
Sitting backwards on a chair is probably not the most comfortable of positions, especially during pregnancy. However, it is better than sitting on a towel and it can assist you a great deal in tanning your back.In this position, your belly will automatically be covered and you will not have to use an extra towel. -
5
Use sun block and tanning lotions
It is imperative that you use a high quality sun block, and apply it thoroughly on your skin before you start tanning. There are a number of tanning lotions or oils available in market, and you can easily select the one most suited to your skin type.
