How to distinguish between pregnant nipples and non-pregnant nipples

Patient's question:

I am a 26-year-old woman who recently got married and discovered I am pregnant. Can you please tell me how to distinguish between the nipples during pregnancy and those that are not pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, after pregnancy, a person's nipples will become larger and darker, appearing dark red, while those who are not pregnant have pink nipples that are smaller. The physical symptoms of pregnancy usually reappear around 20 days after conception. You can pay attention to the following:
(1) Nausea and aversion to greasy food
(2) Frequent urination
(3) Frequent fatigue
(4) Pain in the breasts when touched
(5) Small lumps around the areola (early pregnancy symptoms)
Early pregnancy symptoms vary from person to person. Some may experience loss of appetite, while others may feel cold intolerance or discomfort when exposed to oil smells.
