J.,
If you go to the health food store, any of the sunscreens are safe to use while pregnant.Nature's Gate is the one that I have used.
Neutrogena has a new sunscreen that is UVA/UVB broad spectrum and only using blocking Not absorbing sunscreens (absorbed into the skin). It is called Neutrogena Sensitive skin and has a black and white label and a spf of 60. It leaves you slightly white in areas if you don't rub it in all the way, but other than that is great. Oh and wear a hat and use an umbrella!

In general, you want a physical sunscreen (titanium dioxide), rather than a chemical one (avobenzone, etc.). Use the website www.cosmeticsdatabase.com for checking out all your products (and baby ones once you deliver) to get the best out there.
Check out the Cosmetic Safety Database. http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/splash.php?URI=%2Findex.php
It lists the ingredients of sunscreens, lotions, cosmetics, etc.
