hello ladies, im 14 weeks and i live like 5 minutes from the beach here in Connecticut...it's not extremely hot here i would say about 70 degrees at the most but still beautiful...i was wondering if it's safe to go to the beach since my husband wont allow me to go. it sorta gets me upset so i need to know from some experts out there!!! i really appreciate it!

All I know about the beach is you need to cover up.  During pregnacy the skin is super sensitive.  You need to wear sunblock and to be covered.  From what I have been told you can burn really easily and that could be bad.  However sunshine and fresh air are always good things, just be smart about it.  Of course if the beach has any postings due to red tide or bacteria in the water I would stay away.....but I would think a nice long walk on the beach would be good for you.

He wont allow you to go?!?!?! Uh yeah I'd be out the door and on the beach before he could say no... and yes its safe to go to the beach.. Just drink lots of water... I'm planning a beach trip now since I had to cancel my disney trip because my dad died... As my dr's say.. have fun... :)

I agree with Helene. The only things you need to worry about at the beach when you are pregnant are the same things you need to worry about at the beach when you are not pregnant, there is no difference! Hasn't he ever seen Blue Lagoon? lol just kidding.
