I had been looking forward to the mark of pregnancy. Then, I read that women with fair complexions rarely get the dark line and that it is often associated with a folic acid deficiency. So I am light skinned and I took folic acid supplements.
Shall I give up hope of a negra line?
Maybe my belly button will at least pop out.

It is funny, but yes...the negra lina always seemed like the natural sign of pregnancy! ...and I always thought it would look neat in maternity photos!
...maybe I will henna one on :>
Thanks! Maybe I will get it late in pregnancy too.
it would be neat to get that picture on the beach in a sun hat with a linea negra!
lurking..
I didn't get it until my last trimester. And it didn't go away until about 5mos pp!
I am very fair and therefore the line was very light.
