Mole growth normal in pregnancy?

Question

so I've always had very slightly raised moles on my body. They've never changed or anything since growing up. since being pregnant though, I have this one more than seems to have grown? it sticks out a lot now, and reminds me of a large skin tag. I've read that hormones and cause this during pregnancy but wondering if I should be getting it looked at by a dermatologist anyway? anyone else have this happen to them? did you do anything about it?

Answer

I had one removed after my last pregnancy because it had changed shape and color (slightly) when I was pregnant. It came back negative. The dermatologist said before removing it that it was probably nothing. You should go every year or every other year to get a full body check anyway, so it won't hurt to go and get it looked at.

Answer

I have 2 removed the day before I had my daughter. (I of course didn’t know she would be born 6 weeks early) but the dr said they are normal but just to be safe they took them off and sent them for testing. NOTHING. I have this weird skin tag kinda thing coming up on my tummy I will point out at this weeks appointment but I’m not overly concerned.
