Nipples in general

So I have noticed the closer I get to my due date the more different my Nipples look like my right one has a brown ring around it while my left has just a little brown. Also they seem to have like I guess freckles/bumps are good ways to describe it.... this is normal right?

Re: Nipples in general

  • Yep. If you're concerned, check with your OB at your next visit.

  • I'm pretty sure it's all good lol they just look all funky lol
  • Not sure about the difference in colour (although, colour change is normal), but the bumps are definitely normal - I've had them in both of my pregnancies.

  • Doc told me in third tri that nipples will get darker. It's actually the body preparing for the baby to arrive. The darker nipples help baby to see them or something
  • Those are both really good signs that your body is preparing for your baby! The color change is due to hormones and helps a premie baby "see" them for breastfeeding. The little mumps are Montgomery Tubercles, you had them before, but they get larger as your body prepares for birth.
  • Oh thank God! It's good to know that there is at least one other woman out there this has happened to. Sorry to say though, mine kinda stayed that way...
