This is called a pregnancy mask. It usually happens on the face, but can happen anywhere. It is because you have increased blood flow in your body, thus making your look darker. You may return to normal and you may not.

Its normal, its from the hormones. You might get the Linea nigra which is a dark line running up your belly. The extra pigmentation should fade a few months after you deliver when your hormone levels get back to normal.

Yep, totally normal. And yes, it will go away after you give birth when your body will slowly return it more or less it's original colour. Especially your nipples!

You are experiencing normal skin pigment changes, and they should fade after birth. If these changes are on your face, they call it the "mask of pregnancy" or melasma.
