well hello there linea nigra...

I was getting ready to get in the shower and noticed that talked about line! I wasn't expecting to see it until later on in my pregnancy. When did you all get yours (if you ever got it)?

Oh, I definitely got one (and it took awhile to go away after birth) but I have no memory as to when I got it. I'm going to guess between 20-30 weeks but I could be way off. And that's a big window...lol.

I think mine started faintly showing up around 20 weeks. It still isn't all that dark, but it's way off center and it drives me nuts. I think on the June board I made a little visual aid:

|  Here's the line going down all normal-like
|
|
|
O  ummm, oops, it's a little off. And my belly button is way far out.
  |   okay wtf? why do the top AND the bottom have to be off center?
  |
 /   oh yeah, just bend back at the bottom to make it seem like you're normal.

Yours went above the belly button? Mine is between the belly button and my pubic bone. I heard there's a wives tale on how to tell boy/girl on the line!

It is indeed up there! But like I said, it has stayed pretty light, so it doesn't bother me too much.

Mine showed up a couple of weeks ago. It's not super dark, but it's there, and it's only below the belly button.

Mine has shown up on the lower half of my belly very lightly in the last couple weeks.  It hasn't gotten darker yet and it's not above the belly button yet.

I am already showing a faint one, and it's above my belly button a few inches as well.  I am only 16 weeks!......(I would rather be feeling kicks right now, but my anterior placenta is keeping things quite "plush" in the front!)

Mine showed up around week 18 and it goes above and below the belly button.  It's been slowly getting darker.  Mine is a little off-kilter too, but I assumed it was because of my scoliosis.

DH and I noticed mine last night.  It is very light but does go all the way up the belly.

I got one with Mi around 20 weeks but this time I have a very faint one already.

Mine looks just like that too, except for the little tail at the bottom, lol. It started appearing after 20w & has gotten darker over time.
