black areolas

I am very light in complexion & 14 weeks pregnant . After about 6 weeks my nipples/areola started getting really dry , then they started to darken . Now they're literally black.  I think its disgusting . Does anyone know if it would be this color forever or will it go back to normal after pregnancy ?

It will lighten up some, but there is a chance they will stay significantly darker than they were before

Mine got so dark too. I hated it! After about two months after the baby they started going back to normal. Hope they go back to normal after this one too!

That's what I've heard . I want mine to get back to normal so bad , but I googled it & they said that there's nothing you can do about it. :(

Mine have gotten pretty dark. I'm not 100% on this but I think some mothers go back to normal and others don't.
