Hi,
No need to worry of cancer. Skin cancers usually present as new changes on preexisting skin lesions. It is common for skin hyper-pigmentation over skin folds during pregnancy, due to hormonal changes. Stay relaxed, and show to your doctor during the appointment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
