NIPPLES!!

Excuse the capitals, just wanted to grab your attention!

Am a bit concerned about my nipples. I am 20wks pregnant and my nipples are huge and look a bit 'rubbery' and also have loads of 'lumps' I think the technical term is aerola but never know how to spell it. I can also see tiny specks of white which is serum rather than milk I think (I hope). I can't remember if my nipples did this in first pregnancy.

Anyone else experienced this and does it go away afterwards?

p.s - my boobs are naturally huge anyway, can do without nipples the size of dinner plates!

xenabelly - dunno where the specks are but I started producing milk around 14/15 wks in this (2nd) pg! I think everything just kicks in sooner and stonger.

btw - love your thread title!

Hi xenabelly. I am 21+6 and have the white spots too. DP also said my nipples are like big fruit pastilles! Charming! I thought they were more like jaffa cakes! I think its all normal.
