I was today years old when I found out that pregnancy can make you find/grow extra nipples

That really! I'm 9+4 and today, after my shower, I noticed two, small, symmetrical, pronounced mole like growths near my armpits. Hubby is a doctor, did a google and we've concluded that these are growing along milk lines (look it up!)...he thinks I've probably always had them but the mental hormones are making them grow bigger/darker. They're called supernumerary or accessory nipples.

Apparently they can even secret milk..
So - now I know. Any one else? Or am I the only alien?

YABU for saying 'today years old'

Chooklass · 09/05/2020 20:16

I never knew that!!! I'll be checking now 😂

Wow, I was 'today years old' too! Never heard of that before.

Being unreasonable how @Grobagsforever? What an odd comment

toomuchteaandcake · 09/05/2020 22:49

Also today years old OP! Pregnancy is a ride and a half!

AndMyHairWillShineLikeTheSea · 09/05/2020 23:00

Today years old? Is that a typo?

I had no idea this could happen, that's mad.

Methtones · 09/05/2020 23:20

Like on the baby?

JasonPollack · 09/05/2020 23:22

Love the idea of accessory nipples 😂 to match your shoes or handbag?

I didn't realise how much they would grow!?! I have huuuge nipples now I only had dinky ones before.

Thisismytimetoshine · 09/05/2020 23:25

No, they can't secret milk... How old are you today?

IllegalFred · 09/05/2020 23:25

I knew about milk lines but didn't realise they went so high, I just googled a diagram as the comment about near your armpit confused me.

RyanBergarasTeeth · 09/05/2020 23:28

Wow i am right now years old when i learned this. And that extra nipples can lactate wow.

JacobReesMogadishu · 09/05/2020 23:30

Well I’m a midwife and don’t know about this. I mean, I know about extra nipples, but not they can appear in pregnancy. Are you sure they can lactate? You need a whole ductal system.

'I was today years old when...' is like the hip new 'in' way of saying 'Just now....'

IcyWind · 10/05/2020 03:10

That’s insane!

sel2223 · 10/05/2020 11:45

@emojisarentwords ooh....I'm 37 so it's been a very long time since I was called 'hip' (if ever) 😉😂

I've googled it and it does indeed say that some can leak milk! Wow. Every day's a school day!

user1487755366 · 11/05/2020 18:51

I suspect I've always had them but they're definitely growing bigger and I'd never noticed them before

I'm so embarrassed by mine :(

I actually discovered a lump in my armpit a couple of years ago and went for and breast screening to discover it was accessory breast tissue! It would grow bigger and sore when my boobs would during my menstrual cycle! It's at the top of my armpit

The other day I found a nipple on the same side but at the bottom of my armpit...so strange and I hate it :( I'm terrified it'll grow huge..Or not disappear after pregnancy

And they can lactate! Hope I don't grow loads more like a weirdo :(
