Anyone else still have linea nigra?

DH calls it my racing stripe Stick out tongue It's not the most annoying post-preg weird body thing happening **shakes fist at thinning hair & flabby skin** but I won't be sad when it's gone. Anyone else?

  • Yup, still there.  And I'm basically Casper... so it stands out.  Good thing its not bathing suit season any time soon.

  • Funny you say this. My DH was just commenting on mine. If I remember correctly, it will fade with time.

  • I have the faintest of a line. I'm guessing it will be nonexistent shortly.

  • I do.  Someone told me if you BF, it has the tendency to stick around longer but should fade out in time.

  • The line is pretty much gone for me, but the inside of my belly button is discolored still, and feels rough. I am scrub it off little by little w a washcloth, but it's still pretty nasty. Anyone have this? I don't remember this from dd7!
  • Mine is faint but still there, ugh!

  • Mine is finally gone!  :)
  • Mine is faint and thinner but still there nonetheless. And yes the inside of my belly button is still discolored. I use the scrub on it every other day.
  • Still there. OB said it takes mo ths for it to go away... sorta like how it appeared!

    Oh thank goodness, someone else has this :)  And yeah, I still have my line.  It's gotten a lot fainter, but it's got a long way to go before it's gone.  At least my neck and under my arms is back to normal.

  • Yes, and it doesn't seem to have faded much at all. I am EBFing, and have heard that can cause it to stick around later. I really don't mind; I almost sort of like still having a souvenir of pregnancy sticking around, and it's not an obnoxious one at all.
  • its still dark and wide. But slowly fading and shrinking, however with DS#1 it never went completely aware I know this one wont either. If its still there at 1 year its not going away.
