Dark genitals

Hi, my genitals area have gotten a lot darker than usual ever since I became pregnant. Im talking 3-4 shades darker and it’s quite unsightly (in my own personal opinion) I was wondering if this was normal because I’m worried it’s a sign of GD? I’m taking the test in 2 weeks but can’t help noticing the dark areas. Is anyone going through the same thing? For context, I’m Chinese but I’m not fair skinned.

Hihi! I'm Chinese and had the same, for me this was hyperpigmentation!! It was really bad for me during pregnancy too, but went away within a month of delivery. Happens to armpits, nipples, genital area, linea nigra (line down belly) etc. my acne scars took longer to clear as well. But you can check with gynae if you are concerned about GD
