    Nothing needs to be done. I'm one of the few people with vit that chooses not to seek treatment to fix this. Just wanted to know if this is normal for pregnancy to make it spread faster if other woman have experienced rapid spreading of their vit while pregnant. I'm not seeking treatment.

      I had no vitiligo before my second son. When they say it can be brought on by stress, I agree 100% My second son came with such a quickness, no mess all natural. And it stressed me out to the MAX. I've been in many stressful situations but nothing like that. About a month after having him I started noticing spots. It began to spread lile wildfire. Soon after that, I noticed a small spot on my sons back too. Preganancy is a stressful time. Relax as much as you can. I know it's hard, I do... You just have to try.
