Is Dark Vaginal Area Normal During Pregnancy?

im having pregnancy signs and symptoms.. i havent taken a test yet.. ive had a missed period, clear fluid leak from both breasts, fatigue, increased vaginal discharge, egg white stretchy mucus and my vaginal area is darker. my question is about my darker vaginal area. i know the term is chadwick's sign. will the color vary throughout the day? when i check after i've been laying down its not as dark but when i check after i get up and have been moving around its darker. is that normal of chadwicks sign?

The vulvar part which becomes darker during pregnancy is due to hiperpigmentation during it. It happens even to the nipple, belly and face. These show due to hormonal changes but not in the early pregnancy.
