Early Pregnancy Signs: Darkening Areolas:
If you’ve suddenly realized that your areolas are looking different, you might feel concerned or confused. So what are the causes of dark areolas? Like many pregnancy symptoms and side-effects, dark or black areolas are most likely a result of your rising levels of hormones—namely, estrogen and progesterone.
It’s also not just dark areolas that you might begin to see in early pregnancy—the area immediately surrounding your areolas may begin to darken as well, almost resembling a web, which can make the areola look even bigger, saysSome women may also notice bumps pop up on the perimeter of their areolas. These are called Montgomery tubercles, sometimes also called Morgagni tubercles, and they become more visible during pregnancy and breastfeeding because your breasts get larger, Twogood says.
Suffice it to say: dark or black areolas are a natural part of pregnancy and aren’t generally considered a cause of concern—so there’s really no need to take medical action. While there are creams and ointments on the market that claim to lighten skin color, you shouldn’t try them without consulting your doctor first. They may not be safe for use during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding.
What’s more, you may find that your areolas will lighten once you stop breastfeeding and your hormone levels return to normal. If the change bothers you, rest assured that your dark areolas and nipples will more or less go back to their normal size and color, Zore says, although it’s not unusual for the areolas to stay slightly darker than they were pre-pregnancy. When it’ll happen and to what degree will vary for each woman.
