Dark neck anyone?

I'm a very light skin complexted women and I've barely noticed that my neck almost looks I don't scrub enough... I've never had this problem before I got pregnant. My neck isn't super dark but it looks darker than the rest of the skin of my neck and face. Is this normal?

Its pretty normal. I'm also light skin so having dark skin on the neck and armpits is just not pretty! My family says its one of the signs if you're having a boy. Some women have asked me if I was having a boy because they can tell from the dark skin.. And yes, I'm having a boy!

My doctor says that's a sign of diabetes. Of course I'm not sure, but have you done your gd test yet?
