Brown specks on nipples. 16 weeks pregnant. Have had them for a few weeks. Still there after shower. Can't squeeze anything out either. ??????? What on the world?!?!

Question

Answer

Don't squeeze them, they're supposed to be there! They're called Montgomery tubercles- it's the exposed part of the Montgomery glands, which produce an oily substance to protect the areola. The tubercles just become more pronounced during pregnancy- nothing to worry about, just your body getting ready for breast feeding!

Answer

Mine changed in the same way. It's normal. Just let them change naturally in preparation for baby :)
