So I'm only 14w4d and I've already got the line on my belly! Not only does it go from my belly button to my crotch, but it also goes up towards my sternum! Gah! Isn't it a bit early for this?? I guess it's a hormonal thing because I'm not even showing yet. It's better than stretch marks though (although I'll probably get those too). Hopefully it won't get any darker than what it is since it's pretty light.
Re: A line already?!?
I did a post about this last week I just started seeing my linea nigra last week (21 weeks) it is super light right now and it is from my belly button down.

I hope not! But I am very fair skinned so hopefully it doesn't get TOO bad. I just didn't expect it THIS early.
I got one the first time so I knew I'd get one this time too. Mine is just starting to get dark again.
I was surprised how long it lasted after I had the baby. I found that exfoliating really helped start to lighten it post baby.
