Hey im 31 weeks pregnant and i have lots of dark hair on my stomach and i have dark freckle like discoloration. will this go away after pregnancy?

Well,...: It may, if it just came out during pregnancy. Hormones during pregnancy can often cause skin discoloration, especially a woman's nipples can become darker in color/pigmentation. Once the hormones return to normal levels (Note: it could be after breast feeding), it is the hopes that your darker hair color and freckles will return to pre-pregnancy conditions. Best wishes.

Maybe/maybe not: Pregnancy increases the melanin production and deposition in scars, freckles and down the mid line of the abdomen.(linea nigra). Sometimes it goes away after pregnancy and sometimes not.
