Noticed mine got darker and a bit bigger these few weeks, looks quite different than before. Im a FTM so dont know whats normal. Did this happen to u also?
They get larger, darker, and the small bumps around them become very prominent. Don't try to scrub them or squeeze any fluid out, just leave them alone and wear comfortable cotton bras.
When I told my mother about the color change and itching, she gently explained that it's natural. She made me apply a little coconut oil after bathing, which really helped with the dryness.
It is beautiful how our body changes to nurture the little soul. Embrace these changes as a sign of motherhood and just keep the area clean and moisturized.
For me, they became very sensitive and almost dark brown around the fourth month. Some tiny bumps also appeared around the area, which was completely new for me.
Your areola will expand and darken so the newborn baby can easily locate the breast for feeding. If you see any white flaky skin or minor leaking towards the end, don't worry, it's just colostrum.
I noticed the changes early on and immediately bought seamless, non-wired maternity bras. It saves a lot of discomfort during busy office hours because they get super sensitive.
Actually, they look quite different, like very dark and sometimes even double in size, yaar! Don't worry at all, post-delivery they slowly go back to normal.
