I'm 23 wks, and no sign of the line. When should I expect it to arrive if it does? Also my nipples are just now starting to change, the perimeter is slowly expanding and they are slightly darker.
As a FTM, I can't soak to the lines negra (I don't have one yet).
But over the past few weeks, my boobs have been super sore and my aerola have gotten much darker (and slightly bigger). I hope they don't get much bigger I already feel like they're too big as is

I think the line showed up in the 3rd tri for me last time. My boobs have gone up 2 full cup sizes already and my nipples have recently darkened a little bit.
Don't have one yet, but my boobs got a lot bigger and my nipples got bigger in addition to darker. I hate them and they are just going to keep growing!
If you are fair skinned you may get lucky and not get it. being a red head I am keeping my fingers crossed. So far no line now my boobs another story! Bigger and fuller also itchy and my areola is like twice as big and my nipples are thicker. Oh and did I say my boobs itch???? I literally want to scratch my nipples off agh!!!!

I'm fair and got the line during my last pregnancy. It wasn't super dark but definitely noticeable.
FTM, and I don't have a linea negra yet. I have noticed my nipples and areolas have darkened and gotten larger, but my breasts are still about the same size. I'm just waiting for the day my bras stops fitting. I think I'll probably cry then.
No line but my areoles are super dark. And my boobs itch so much but that seems to be more of a heat rash. Being on bed rest, I don't bother with a bra anyone but at about 19-20 weeks it hurt to breathe wearing my normal 34dd so I'm afraid to know how big or bigger they are and will become!

No sign of linea nigra, but massive breast changes. My nipples are bigger and darker, my breasts have gone from a 34D to a 36G, and the skin is super-delicate. I SO wish those lovely comfy maternity/nursing bras came in my size!
No line for me yet. My have gotten larger and darker and my boobs have gone up at least one cup size already haven't had them measured again recently though to see if they've gone up any more.
I've had the line for a few weeks. It's noticeable, but it's not incredibly dark, so I don't think it's so bad. Mine goes all the way to the top of my belly.
My linea negra was more defined with my first pregnancy. I have a very light one now from the belly button down, but you really have to look for it. I think at this point with DD's pregnancy, it was more prominent.
Nipples are...um, very ready for breastfeeding and have been for a while. The baby will be able to spot the boob from a mile away.
Not everyone gets it - but I have with each pregnancy. Mine never fully disappeared from my pregnancy that ended in a loss [became pregnant 9 months after], so mine has gradually gotten darker from the very beginning. It doesn't seem as dark at this point in my pregnancy as in the past, but it's definitely there.
Aereolas have gotten bigger and darker over the course of my pregnancy, too.
No line here-- though my skin has stayed a little darker in general and I haven't been outside near as much (and using way more SPF when I am). Boobs....well...they won't stop growing. I'm up almost 3 cup sizes (aside from belly nothing else on my bod has changed) and wasn't small breasted to begin with, so that's an interesting situation. My areolas are definitely darker, but maybe only a teeny bigger.
Mine has started to come in, and I'm super pumped! I loved mine with DS. My nipples/breasts have changed a ton so far. I'm up at least a cup size (maybe more), and am busting out of all my big DDs. My areolas and nipples have greatly increased in both size and pigment. (Just like last time.)
Im a FTM and have had the line since week 20 or so. It is quite thick n dark uptil my belly button and continues into a thinner lighter line till just under my breasts! I read about an old wives tale that if your linea nigra extends beyond your belly button, its a boy! Well.. We will know in about three months )
Nipples and areolas are definitely larger, darker and itchier!
I have a very faint line, it's so faint I'm not sure if I'm just imagining it! And my nipples/aerolas are slightly larger and darker. Besides the occasional leaking, I really love my new boobs!
I haven't gotten it yet but I did get it with both my past successful pregnancies. I'm very fair and have light blonde hair. I don't remember when it showed up though. My nipples and aereolas are changing now too.

Re: Linea nigra??
No linea negra for me yet. My understanding is that not everyone gets this, although most do.
