Pregnancy and the accompanying hormones changes many things about a woman's body permanently. The areola's/breast are one of the most significant changes. Because of the growth and development of milk ducts and glands, most women's breasts grow in size and change in shape. The areola's become darker and larger, constricting when cold or aroused, and the nipples become larger and more protuberant.
