    Bruised Breasts - Sorry TMI

    I'm 16 weeks pregnant and this morning when I got out of the shower I noticed that the bottom of my breasts were blotchy, kind of like the bottoms were bruised. There is no pain other than the heaviness I normally have but does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this. Is is just hormones or is it something I should maybe get checked out. TIA.

    I get this pg or ot as my BBs are H cup, it's just from the weight/circulation position in bras etc. If it worries you mention it to ur Dr next time you see them.

    Hey Aussie!

    I actually saw the same thing last night, just next to my nipple was a really dark blotchy spot that I thought could be bruising!
    My BB's are an F cup and similar to Shezabelle I've read that its from the weight and circulation of blood and hormones etc...

    Is it still there now? Mine went away this morning....

    could it be pigment changes in your skin too?

    Thanks for the replies ladies. I called my OB and she asked me to come in so she could have a look. She checked me over and said that it's because of the increased bloodflow etc. Just like you guys said. She knows I'm an anxious person so thats why she asked me to pop in. Also she gave me a quick scan so I could see baby!!
