I am 6 weeks pregnant and my left areola lower area is bigger than the right side. it looks like new bumps are forming with the same color. normal?

YES: Nipples will become engorged and vary in size: the follicles you refer to are called Montgomery's follicles and are a normal part of the breast changes during pregnancy
