Linea Nigra & Sex Prediction

so mine showed up this week & is darkening

just wondering if the old wives tale in WTEWYE has proven true for you ladies who know the sex of you baby?

the book says that if it is from your ribs down it's a boy, if it's just from your bellybutton down it's a girl - is that the case for you?

I don't believe in old wives tales, but it's kind of fun to guess the sex of my baby anyhow - if this one works out to be true for me then I'm having a boy...:)

Re: Linea Nigra & Sex Prediction

  • I still don't have one, so I don't know what that means...I know they are less common in pale women and I am about as pale as they come!

  • I have a faint line from my belly button down and I'm having a boy. So I guess it's not true for me.

  • FWIW - I had one from Belly button down with DD, and have nothing at all this time and we are having a Boy.

  • I never had one with DS, and I don't have one with this little boy either.

  • I have one from my ribs down, and I'm having a girl
  • I feel like I'm starting to get one, but I only see it above my belly button.  Is that it?  I thought they were normally below the belly button??

    yea the book says it can be either or both, mine is really only super visable above the belly button, but it's still pretty light colored, I guess cause I am pretty pale skinned
  • I have a light colored one from the ribs down...
  • Mine's all the way up and we're having a girl.
  • well there you go then:) not accurate at all as old wives tales go - just as I thought!

    :)

  • I am white and I have a very faint line that is just like a slight discoloration of my whiteness.  It does however start at my ribs and I am having a boy, so maybe that wive's tale has some merit.  However, everyone and their dog thought I was having a girl according to the other half a million wive's tales out there!

  • I have a faint one, Belly button down and its a girl, so it holds true for me. It has been faint since about 8 weeks.

  • Mine is faint, but it goes all the way up. And I think I'm also carrying low. Both would indicate boy, but 4 u/s have said girl!
