During pregnency in the aerola has small pimple like swelling . is it normal?

Probably : The montgomery glands on the areolas become larger during pregnancy. They contain a material that maintains lubrication of the nipple ; surrounding tissue. If the bump becomes red, warm, tender, swollen or has pus then it may be infected and would require medical attention.
