Early pregnancy nipple help!

Hello,

I have recently found out I am 6 weeks pregnant which is great news, however, my breasts and nipples aren't as sensitive and my areola isn't as dark as they have been for the past week or so. I am worried that this is not normal. I know that all pregnancies are very different, but has anyone experienced this before?

I had a silent miscarriage at 16 weeks 18 months ago. This is the first pregnancy since this has happened, so I am not sure if I am being extremely sensitive or whether I should be worried.

Any advice or experiences shared, would be really helpful.

Many thanks :)

Hi there

Sorry to hear what happened to you previously, it's so easy not to worry. I wouldn't say your being sensitive at all, it natural to feel so many emotions.

Its important to remember all pregnancies are different, I'm now nearly 13 weeks, I havent noticed the darkening around my nipples however my actual nipples have been extremely sensitive since about week 9, also I had no nausea/sickness until week 7 (I prayed something would come so it would feel real & exactly week 7 it came & hasn't left)

Honestly don't feel bad about feeling so many different things its natural but i would say to try & enjoy & relax & trust your body xx

Hi SamPB,

Thank you for your reassurance, kind words and for sharing your experience - congratulations on your pregnancy! :)

You are right in that everyone is completely different - I am just paranoid but I know that is not going to help. I will certainly try to relax and enjoy the process.

I hope the sickness eases off, I haven't experienced physical sickness but I do feel slighly sick in the evenings.

Thank you so much, take care and wishing you all the best xxx

Hiya, I'm 14 weeks and zero change to mine since I got pregnant. It really freaks me out too but all was fine at my 12 week scan. I don't know why it's so different for different people, just stresses us all out. I wonder if it was easier back in the day before people could talk to each other about such things! Wishing you the best of luck!
