LOL, well, mine never got really dark. Darker, yes, and bigger, but never to the extent that I see other people talking about. And they went back to normal after I stopped nursing. But mine always started changing slightly even before BFP, it was a "sighn" for me. It got more noticeable around the 2nd trimester though.

Our out of nowhere, surprise DD born 5/29/2011
I'm kind of fascinated with the idea, I am so pale and I cannot imagine myself with brown nipples, I will look like a different person! I keep checking to see if they look different but so far still super light. My areolas are already huge so I'm hoping they don't get any bigger!

This is TMI, but my nipples are dark to start with (dark brown). They actually got lighter pink in middle due to all the stretching. My nipples are huge in size, but no change in boob size.

OK, I am about to get really close and cozy here
I am pale too, and my nipples are very light pink. They never turned brown, rather they got purple. You probably will be the same. I think to get the dark brown ones you need brown ones to start :P

Clearly we're past the up close and personal stage when I'm telling you how big my areolas are
I'm thinking this will be me, there's no brown there to begin with, but who knows.

I have more pale skin and areolas are lighter in skin color as well. When I was pregnant with my DDs they never got really really dark. Just a little darker than what they were before pregnancy. I have big areolas too and they got pretty big during pregnancy and were huge when I was nursing. Fortunately after they shrunk back to normal size (actually smaller than pre-pregnancy, so did my areolas).
Somewhere in the second tri for me. I'm trying to remember exactly when. Maybe 16 weeks? It was at the point where my m/s had finally subsided and I no longer felt pregnant, so it must have been after 16 weeks. Don't get freaked out though if they change and then change back. Mine did that for a while and it scared me.

So I'm as pale as they come naturally, but I do tan well and don't burn so while my arms might be dark my bb's are as white as white can be. My areolas were big to begin with and at some point they turned a medium brown. They're not super dark though. I don't really know when it happened, but it's been than way for the last month or so that I've noticed.
Re: When do/did your nipples get darker?
I'm still waiting...
Sometimes I notice they are different, then they are back to normal after a bit.

I don't know. I think they may have gotten darker (I'm 22w). But I really don't know. DH hasn't mentioned it either.
I was light brown to begin with. Maybe now I'm light/medium brown?
In hindsight, I should have taken a pic of them in first tri, and then used that to compare.
