Question about Nips (TMI)

I noticed this morning that right at the bottom of my left areola it seems to be a little raised looking. Not really a different color and it doesn't look anything like a bug bite so I am wondering if I should be concerned. Is it normal for things like this to pop up while you're pregnant? Could it be a milk duct or something? (I am just over 20 weeks along) Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

I have that too and I'm not sure. I wasn't concerned about it. It probably is a milk duct

Just found this on American Pregnancy

What other changes can I expect?

Starting at around 8 weeks, your breasts also begin to get bigger, and they'll continue to grow throughout your pregnancy. It's common to go up a cup size or two, especially if it's your first baby. Your breasts may feel itchy as the skin stretches, and you may even develop stretch marks on them.

You may be able to see veins under the skin of your breasts, and you may find that your nipples are getting bigger and darker. After the first few months, your areolas — the pigmented circles around your nipples — will also be bigger and darker.

You may not have noticed the little bumps on your areolas before. But now these bumps, which are a type of oil-producing gland called Montgomery's tubercles, may become much more pronounced. Your breasts go through these changes in preparation for nursing your baby.

Around your third month of pregnancy, your breasts start producing colostrum, the special milk your baby will get when he first starts nursing. During the last few months of pregnancy, you may begin to leak a small amount of this thick yellowish substance, although some women start to leak earlier and some never leak at all.

Thanks for the info!!! I feel better. Hope you're feeling well too. I was excited to hear your news about the twins. Lots of luck!!!

I read somewhere that bumps on your boobs are completely normal during pregnancy. Something about the baby navigating to your nipple when breastfeeding, or something along the lines of that
