[najool2014]

My nipples are getting darker, I am on my 19th week. Is this normal?  I am getting concerned about it.. is it normal?  What can I do to prevent it?

Mine got hugeee and really dark and they went back to normal size and color after 2 years. Now I'm pregnant again and it's happening faster and darker lol I know they didn't have a problem going back to normal after 2 yrs so I know they will go back to normal eventually.  ;) Don't worry its not permanent. ♡♡♡

Wow thanks for asking mine are getting dark too. I really was a little embarrassed to ask. But good to know it's normal and they could go back to normal

They get darker so the baby can find the nipple. Mine have already gotten lighter my son is 7 wks

It's just part of being pregnant. Mine went back a little after I gave birth to my kids. Hopefully they do after this one. Idk why I also got a darker color under my boobs too.

This is my 2nd child and mine never completely lightened back up so sont get your hopes up lol. They were still darker after my 1st and are now even darker in this pregnancy

It is normal. They darken and the areola gets bigger because baby's vision is poor in the beginning of life. This is creating a contrast to help baby find food more easily. Even if you could prevent it, there are natural reasons for the change for baby's advantage.

It is completely normal, and after you have the baby they will lighten back up to normal. Im right there with ya lol

Is normal.  There is nothing you can do. It will go away after the pregnancy.
