Dark blotches on skin from pregnancy?

I am concerned about these dark spots that seem to have come during my last two pregnancies and not gone away. It’s been over two years at this point. They look like birthmarks with no other changes to my skin, just the dark pigment ... It doesn't hurt or itch or anything ... Just what is this and should I be concerned?

Probably nothing to worry about depending on location and pattern of discoloration. Recommend a dermatology evaluation.

These should be evaluated by your dermatologist.
