Are pregnant women more susceptible to the sun and UV light? Fact or fiction? This is actually a fact. Did you know that a women’s skin during pregnancy can become more susceptible and sensitive to the UV light from the sun due to all the hormone changes?
This means that covering up out of the sun and wearing sun protection is all the more important for a pregnant woman and her baby. In fact, the recommendations are for pregnant women to stay out of the sun where possible. We all know this is easier said than done as the sun’s harmful rays can still penetrate through car windscreens (Cancer Council Australia). And you still get UV radiation even on cloudy days! And you also know that hiding inside daily to avoid the sun is just not practical.
And what about the plan for just one more tropical island holiday before the baby arrives?
Whatever it is, it still makes having to cover up a priority and finding something easy to use as a cover-up can be a blessing in disguise. Our range of convertible tops in the UPF50+ sun protection and resort wear range can be just the answer you are looking for.
