Hi
During pregnancy there is high levels of progesterone in the body.
Progesterone will decrease the motility of the intestines it leads constipation during pregnancy.
For this drink lots of fluid and eat green leafy vegetables.
During the pregnancy there will activation of melanocytes in the skin so it cause darkness of skin.
Over weight also cause darkness of skin and neck area.
Apply moisturiser to prevent it.
Normally after delivery it will disappear it self.
