It's totally normal. :) It's called hyper pigmentation. The most common sights are the inner thighs, middle of the belly and armpits. It's caused by the increase in estrogen. Sunlight can make it worse so, careful with the tank tops. Since you have noticed it under your arms,be prepared to see it on your face too. Then it's called melasma. Neither is permanent. It usually clears up on its own after delivery. :)
