Woke up with a linea nigra

BluBerryMuffin · April 2011

I kinda of noticed a darkening down the middle of my tummy last week, but this morning I noticed an official linea nigra. Anyone else have one yet?

DH saw it last night and kept tracing the line for a good 30 minutes.

it's faintly there. i'm just not sure if that from this baby or if it really just never went away from the last one.

Nope and I doubt I'll get it. I didn't have it at all with baby #1.

Nope, not yet. I wonder if I will get it.

Does it really sometimes just not fade? Or take a super long time to fade? Wow, I didn't realize that it sometimes lasted that long after giving birth.

I don't have one yet.

My mom still has hers and I was her last pregnancy (22 yrs ago).

Dumb question - I know what you're talking about, but what causes it? Do most women get those?

(Sorry my daughter hit the computer..)it usually happens to woman with more olive or darker skin tones I believe. I dont think it is very common with fair skin tones. I could be wrong. It lasts for a little while after the baby is born. I think it took me about 3-4 months to lose all the baby weight and when I finally did the line was gone. I think its different for everyone though:)

You mean being pale as all get out could be to my benefit for once? That'd be nice.

I had one left over from DD but it was way light..its gotten a bit darker now..

With DD it came late almost right before she was born..started uh real low then came up to my belly button..
