Hyperpigmentation: Many women will experience darkening of the skin, usually around the nipples, abdomen, forehead, upper lip and cheeks. It is from the increased hormones with pregnancy; some women will even develop these symptoms from birth control pills. It usually goes away eventually. Use sunscreen in the meantime to avoid further darkening.
