This is a weird question but im curious- i work for new moms & notice that their nipples are large & elongated.i dont have children but mine are flat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pregnancy hormones: cause significant enlargement of the breast with growth of mammary glands, the areola and nipple tissue. Much of this recedes after birth of the infant, but not to prepregnancy status. Not all women, however, have elongated nipples. Some women do have inverted nipples or are quite flat and do not change significantly with pregnancy.
