2nd Trimester

personal question

Hey everyone,

I plan on breastfeeding.  My question, when will my areolas start spreading?  My nipple area does not look that much different that prepregnancy.  I always thought that my nipples would get bigger and the areolas would spread.  Any knowledge in this area?

  • How far along are you?

  • hmmm... mine did get a little larger and a little darker last time. Everyone's different though. So far, this pregnancy, nothing has changed.
  • I think it's different for everyone. DH says I look like I have "national geographic" nipples and is actually completely terrified of my boobs. I think it started around 20-ish weeks for me. Maybe a little earlier.
  • I haven't noticed that big of a change...it certainly doens't compare to the amount of sagging taking place with my B size boobs (went up to a D while bf'ing) :( The things mothers do for their babies.  My boobs will never be the same.
  • Mine have only gotten slightly darker, not bigger at all. ?And I only noticed them getting darker within the last month or so.

  • My nipples have gotten pretty large...scary actually.  I haven't noticed much change in the areolas though.  Guess it's different for everyone.
  • mine are so much darker already but not much bigger.
  • DH just confirmed my nipples are huge.   Thanks honey :o)   LOL

    i just pulled mine out to show him to get his opinion. did you do that too or just ask from his past seeing them?LOL

  • So far there is not too much of a differance other than the overall size of my breast. With my last pregnancy I didn't notice a differance in my nipples till I was really close to my due date.

     Every person is differant and every pregnancy is diferant too.
