Q: Signs of Pregnancy???

Hi!

I just have a few questions, I am about 6 weeks pregnant... And I was wondering when reading all the info on other sites...

They say that your areolas will darken, (i am not getting that) the only thing that is different with my breasts is that I have a really dark greenish-blue vein (which is normally not there) that runs from where my breast start to right above my nipple..(in a big "u") on both my breast but it's darker on my left one! Is this something I should be alarmed about?

Another question? My nipples are super itchy.. Again is this normal?

Thanks to anyone who can offer some insight!

Best of luck to all!

And the vein thing is also normal, although I havent noticed cause my boobs seem to be too big to check all over lol.

Darkening

Mine didn't start darkening til later on. The first thing I noticed was tenderness as my breasts filled out a little more. After they were done being tender, the nipples hardened and my areolas darkened.

If the itching is within the tip of the nipple, it could be your milk ducts releasing milk in very small amounts. After a couple months I noticed that if I "pick" between the milk ducts I could find hard crusty things which was hardened milk. I clean them out every couple weeks, which made my nipples less erect.

Can I ask a question?

Is it ok if my boobs dont hurt but my nipples do?

My boobs are huge and itchy but its my nipples that are sore,
and they're erect as well but nothing is coming out of them yet, im 4 months pregnant.

Sxcgirl your breast will feel tender off and on throughout your entire pregnancy. Sometimes just the nipple sometimes the entire breast.

Itchyness is normal in boobs and tummy because your skin is stetching as they get bigger and that makes you itch :)
