I am pregnant and i noticed some black dots around my areola, is it normal?

Could be: The skin around the nipple can change in color when pregnant and certain hormones change/fluctuate throughout your pregnancy. At your next prenatal visit, have your provider examine your areolar area to be safe though. Congratulations.
