from askbaby.com:

"As the widespread use of self tanning products is a relatively recent phenomenon there is no long term research into their actual effects during pregnancy......one of the main risk factors with self tans (aside from streaking) is that they will cause an allergic reaction. This is a particular risk during pregnancy as your skin becomes a lot more sensitive to chemical substances because of all of the hormonal changes your body is going through"

I've just put the dove stuff on for the first time yesterday.  I try all sorts of fake tans but tend to end up with streaks....I'm too lazy to do it properly I guess.

Otherwise I am white as white.....almost grey.  tom is darker than me...before he even saw the sun!

Usually I use dove summer skin to maintain a tan but I start off with Garnier fake tan to build up a good tan quickly.  I also tan naturally in very little sunlight so by the end of summer I am very bronze.

This year I'm staying away from fake tans due to the bubba so if I do need some help I'll just brush on some bronzing powder.

So tanning in the sun isn't the safest thing to do (but we still do it ). But how else do you get yours??

I have Johnsons Holiday Skin on my legs every day and night and now have rather brown legs (a little too brown), I use the night stuff at night and the normal to dark stuff in the morning.
