General Surgeon 's  Response
It is very obvious for skin color to become darker during and after pregnancy. this is mainly hormonal as more melanin is produced during this time and it will fade with time can also use some sunscreen cream

Dermatologist Dr. M.K.Chhaperwal's  Response
Darkening of skin color during pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon. It automatically becomes normal some time after delivery but in some women it may persists for months to years. Consult a dermatologist for appropriate treatment of the condition.
