Do you still have your linea nigra?

This damn linea nigra won't go away. Argh. I hated it when I was pregnant, and I'm almost 5 months out and it's still there. Anyone in the same boat?

Hate to break it to you, mine had just gone away from my first pregnancy when I got pregnant the second time.  DD1 was 2 years old.....

Still have mine too - DD is almost 6 mos. It has gotten lighter in appearance and seems to have shortened from the top. Doesn't really bother me though, I have a C section scar that I'm looking at more than the LN. Look at it as a badge of motherhood.

I'm 4 months pp and still have it.  My obgyn said to try using rubbing alcohol to get rid of it quicker.  I haven't tried it though since I figure the summer is almost over so the only one who will see my stomach is my husband.  I'm sure it will eventually go away!

Lurking from 0-3 month board (10wk old LO).

This sounds super weird, and I have no idea why it works, but it does. Scrub it off. I use my face wash, St. Ives apricot scrub, it takes a couple weeks, but mine is gone now.

Mine only became noticable after delivery.....then I had a case of dry skin on my lower abs so I used the apricot scrub to exfoliate the dry skin....now that you mentiion it, I dont notice it as much as I did previously. I dont know if its caused I scrubbed it or if its coincidence.

I'm so glad I'm not alone in this! Mine is still here, and my belly button is still half out. It's not pretty.

Yup, 5 months pp here and I still have mine!

Exfoliate like crazy. I swear it helped. Mine wasn't fading in the slightest, so I started scrubbing it in the shower every day and now it's almost gone.

Yep, still have mine. What's annoying is the bkack that shows in my belly button. It looks dirty!
