I'm really pale and never had a dark line on my abdomen. A week after delivery it started to show and now it's darker and very noticeable. When did yours show up?
Mine showed up like the day after delivery. Crazy! I never had one with my first LO and now, 4 weeks later with my second, it's still there. Lighter, but still shows. Wish it would go away!
I am extremely pale as well. Mine showed up in the last month of pregnancy but it was really light. After delivery-it got very dark. In fact my whole stomach is dark-it just looks dirty. I've scrubbed ad exfoliated-thinking it was from the c-section but it hadn't helped any. I'm patiently waiting for it to go away.
Mine also got much darker after delivery this time (although I don't remember it doing that last time as it was pretty dark throughout). Makes sense though since it isn't all stretched out anymore. My belly button is the same way - ick!
Mine showed up early in pregnancy and is still going strong 5 weeks pp. I wish I knew when it is supposed to go away! I liked it at first but now that my tummy is all flabby it just looks weird.
Re: linea negra, mine showed up AFTER delivery?!
