I woke up one day to one huge swollen nipple that had doubled in circumference - the other was still normal!

Yeah with my last baby my nipples went from small and pale pink to dark brown and massive! I was so shocked but it happened over a couple of months! Once the baby is born if you bf they'll go back to normal a short while after you stop, if you don't bf they'll go back to normal a few months after the birth. Love the description of it looking like 2 jaffa cakes down your top
