Linea nigra

Has anyone gotten their linea nigra (dark line on your stomach) yet? I noticed mine last week and was an aww 🥰 I’ve never been this far along before so I’m enjoying everything about it.

Re: Linea nigra

  • Mine has always been there even before being pregnant. I'm interested to see if it gets darker though!
  • @2022_ivf_momma I didn’t get one last pregnancy! I just checked, and nothing yet this time either

  • Haven’t gotten it with any of my pregnancies before. Congrats mama 💜
  • I didn't get one with my last pregnancy. I wonder if it's usually consistent pregnancy to pregnancy? I've got nothing so far
  • Nothing so far but I had it last pregnancy and was not a fan lol, I also don’t like that my belly button disappears

  • @livingoffpbjs OMG the bellybutton disappearing! So I didn’t know that was a thing. When I went in for my (scheduled) c section, I was a nervous wreck, especially before my husband came in. One of the doctors made a nice joke about the fact that I still had a bellybutton, and I was so nervous I started yammering away about how when one of my sisters was like three she could only fall asleep if she had her finger in her belly button and another finger in yours (or my moms, or whatever). It was a very strange story to tell, but they were cracking up. I hope they remember the weirdo patient who told that weirdo story and tell people about it in the future lol. 
  • @livingoffpbjs I’ve never heard of the disappearing belly button 😮 I guess I better look into that lol
  • @angelz429 Thanks and congrats to to you too! I am just a little kid excited about all of these changes. I’ve fortunately had a pretty easy pregnancy so far so that might be part of the reason lol
  • @lexilougolden Yeah it will probably get darker with time. I don’t want it to stay afterward but I think it’s cool now. The body is just fascinating and I think personally it’s incredible how God made our bodies function for all of these stages/ tasks.
  • I get it postpartum. Its the weirdest thing. 
  • It has been for me. Didn't have it while pregnant with my daughter or my son, but it showed up immediately after I delivered both of them.
  • @livingoffpbjs I’ve never heard of the disappearing belly button 😮 I guess I better look into that lol
    Lmao it pretty much either stretches or pops out. It happened to me with my son.
  • @2022_ivf_momma your belly button can totally disappear! I think it depends on how deep your betting button is prior to being pregnant. Mine flattened out all the way 😂 but mine is semi deep so you could still tell it was a belly button. I actually have a small umbilical hernia from my first pregnancy, so we’ll see how this one goes. It’s super small, but my doctor didn’t recommend repairing it. 
  • @photographerwife Wow I keep learning something new everyday on here lol
  • @livingoffpbjs My belly button has already halfway disappeared. Does yours disappear evenly? Mine goes one side and then the other. It’s weird, and I’m not a huge fan lol. 
  • @makingbacon it just starts stretching out to where it goes flat. But it’s a gradual flattening out. It’s like a mini baby pool right now. I’m trying to picture one side and then the other, like right to left or top to bottom?

  • @livingoffpbjs Mine doesn’t stretch, it just pops like an uneven popper thing on turkeys when they cook. It comes out right to left, so I still have a belly button on the left, but the right side is almost completely an outie. 
  • @makingbacon these babies do weird things to us haha
