tmi about boobs

Question

A little tmi..  but I was just wondering.. I am 30 weeks pregnant.  my nipples are very... very big, this is my 3rd pregnancy so it's the first thing that caught me off guard.  They have never been this big. And not just the actual nipples ,  like the color area around them have grown! Annnddd...  they are dark! I'm olive skin tone,  Italian.  The color is usually a darkish pink. But.. now the are brown/ black!  Is this normal?  Whats going on!

It is completely normal. When babies are born they don't see very well at all. So our bodies adapt to those kinds of factors like our nipples getting bigger and darker.

Completely normal, it's so that the baby can see the nipple, making it easier to latch. Our bodies are amazing!

Completely normal. 
With my first I started out with small, pink nipples. Afterwards my nipples were huge and dark. They've stayed dark but have shrinked a bit.

I'm 25weeks with my fourth boy and mine are the same way. I heard it was one of those gender predictor myths that they get that way when you have a boy.. it always held true for me. Do you know what youre having?

That happened to me with my first baby. The color got really dark and stretched out a lot. I'm 36 weeks with second baby and mine have stayed the same so far. I think it's very common for the color and size to change though.

Its normal to get darker and bigger. It doesn't happen to everyone every time, but it is normal
