linea negra

luna49 · March 2010

If you have one, when did it show up?

I had a pretty dark one last time and I cannot remember when it made its appearance. It has yet to show up this time around.

TIA!

Mine's been showing since second tri I think. It's pretty dark now and my belly button is darker. (I have darker skin already).

I have it, but I just noticed it on Monday. I honestly don't know how long it's been there - I guess I never really pay attention, plus it's pretty faint.

I've noticed it for a while ... my doctor was the first one to point it out at maybe 15 weeks (?)

I've had mine for a while now...probably early on in my 2nd tri. It's gotten darker and longer recently though.

With DS#1 I got it fairly early on...even my belly button got a darker ring around it! My line went all the way up. This time I don't have one at all (yet?). Not sure if its coming later or not at all but I think I even posted about this the other day asking if it was weird that I had one for one pregnancy and not this one. Apparently a lot of ladies had one the first time and not the second time.

Thanks. My line last time went all the way up too - we used to joke that it was going to go all the way up the middle of my face by the time I had the baby. That's why I was surprised that I've got nothing yet.

Didn't get one!

Had one with DS. . . came about 28 weeks and was a full line and fairly dark by the end. I don't have one at all this time. Weird.

I still don't have one. I never got one with my boys, either.

I think mine started to show around week 27. It's since gotten darker, but still is fairly faint.

prego760 · March 2010

yep I have it. I saw a faint appearance of it at 24 weeks and its still preety faint but still visible.

bakedlaurabean · March 2010

I think mine showed up around 18 weeks. It's not very dark, though.

Got mine around 24 weeks...here's something kinda cool. I had 2 major surgeries on my abdomen as a child so I have a large scar across my whole belly. When my linea negra hits my scar & then starts on the other side, it doesn't line up! It's over nearly 1/2 inch. I asked my OB & she said the line actually follows an internal track so in me, my track must be shifted due to scar tissue or how I was sewn back up. Just plain wierd!
