Nope mr. answerman-never been pregnant, so that does not apply and it still doesn't explain it.

The darkening occurs after pregnancy, come to think of it so does a lot of the sagging. Oh well that is gravity for ya. I had an anatomy teacher, Dr. Jane, who used to speak about a ligament that supports the breast called Coopers Ligament. She used to refer to it as Coopers droopers.
