The breasts undergo marked changes during pregnancy. The changes are more noticeable for women pregnant for the first time compared to those with multiple pregnancies. The breasts increase in size and sensitivity, and bluish streaks may appear. The nipple becomes more erect and the area around it darkens. Bumps may form around the darkened area, and a lighter halo may form further out. After 3 months, a sticky then yellow fluid called colostrum can be expressed from the nipples.
