Im 5 months pregnant this friday and since last wk i ve noticed tiny mole like things about double a pin head size appearing on my nipples im starting to worry as this pregnancy has made me very paranoid. I,ve never had these before i had 1 on my neck but it came off when i scratched myself are these common in pregnancy?
Hallow Mummy, What you have noticed are known as Montgomery's tubercles. They appear during pregnancy. In fact, they are one of the diagnostic signs of pregnancy. During pregnancy some milk is being produced which gets stored in the sacs present under the areola. They stand out as Montgomery's tubercles. If you press on these tubercles, some raw milk (colostrum) will be squeezed out of the nipples. So do not be under stress. These Montgomery's tubercles are normal features of pregnancy. Hope you are relaxed now.
