re: When Did You? And Would You?

Quoting Milk✯Machine:" I don't think you understood her..... lmao"

No I did but thanks :-D

Quoting Lillie Montalvo:" No I did but thanks :-D"

then why all the spewing of bullsmurf that had nothing to do with you being a good or bad mother?

Quoting Lillie Montalvo:" I went to the beach earlier and saw a lady with a baby. She was sitting right next to her (well not to ... [snip!] ... you take your little one to the beach? And would you bring your 2 week old to the beach with no shade or anything just a hat."

Your friends doctor was absolutely correct - her tanning probably did cause her to go into early labor.
http://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.2105/AJPH.87.7.1205 - OBJECTIVES: The goal of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between heat-humidity indexes and rates of preterm labor and preterm delivery. METHODS: Preterm labor and delivery rates were compared during the 2 summer and 2 winter weeks with the highest and lowest heat-humidity indexes for each season. RESULTS: The rate of preterm labor increased consistently from 1.23% to 3.00% as the heat-humidity index rose. When preterm births were examined, the trend was similar but not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Given the public health import of preterm labor and the frequency with which pregnant women may be exposed to extremes of heat, studies designed to confirm or refuse our preliminary observations are warranted.

Very high temperatures are used during the tanning process. Research suggests that the body temperature of an expectant mother should not rise above 102º Fahrenheit. The high temperatures can cause the body temperature to rise as well, which can be fatal for the fetus. It can lead to increase in body temperature of the baby. Unlike the mother, the baby will not sweat inside the womb, causing immense damage to the baby.

The doctor was again, correct. Although he gave your friend a "dumbed down" version of what was happening to the baby the short of it is she could have killed her baby. Her sunburn was of great concern to the doctor.

I live in miami and the heat is so intense down here i WOULD NOT take my son at 2 weeks to the beach, unless i had shade and a tun of sunblock.

You can't ( or are not suppose) to put sunblock on an infant under 6 months.

I think it would depend on how hot it was out.

Hahaa, damn it. I need to start logging into BG more often.
