Linea Negra/Belly button question

StefaniePace · June 2011

If I dont have it by now does that mean I will not get it?

Also if my belly button is still an inny at 31 weeks does that mean mine will not poke out?

Just curious.

Edit.. 31 weeks

I'm not really sure, but I'm 40 + weeks and my belly button never popped out. Then again, I had surgery 2 years ago and they had to reconstruct my belly button, so that might have something to do with it.

I have had the Linea Negra since like 20 weeks so you may not get that. But as for my belly button, it gets worse everyday I think. Every morning I wake up I feel my belly button comes out even farther! My H calls it my poked out eyed monster. Lol.

BTW I am naming my daughter Olivia too:) I love the name!

Mine was completely in and normal at 31 weeks, now at 34 weeks it is starting to slowly flip and get wayyyy shallower than it has before.

Don't count on anything, it can change in a day.

I think linea negra may depend on your skin color as well. I have olive skin and have had it since week 14!

My belly button has never popped out with any of my pregnancies (I'm on #4). It's almost completely flat right now at 37+ and I'm guessing it will pretty much stay the same. I have a slight linea negra right now and I've really been able to notice only in last 3 or 4 weeks or so with this pregnancy, but have noticed it earlier in other pregnancies so maybe it can vary with each pregnancy?

I have a faint linea, and have since about 19 weeks or so. My belly button is more shallow, but hasn't popped out. I think I have a unique belly button anyways. I am wondering what it will do in the end!

At 31 weeks I was definitely still an innie - now at 37, it's somewhere in between and changing all the time.

When I was pregnant with DS, I had a DARK linea negra from the start of 2nd trimester and it lasted almost a year after he was born (faded slowly) but my bellybutton never changed (innie). This pregnancy I have a nearly undetectable line but my bellybutton has been completely an outtie since about 28 weeks. So weird!

My belly button never popped out and I never got the linea negra with my DD. I am almost 37 weeks and still don't have the line and belly button hasn't popped out. at this stage, I am not expecting it to happen.

This is my first pregnancy and I will be 39 weeks on Friday. My belly button never popped out and I never got a visible linea negra. I have a few stretch marks under my belly that I can only see in the mirror right now but that's it. Not too bad for my first, I think!

My line started to appear around 17 weeks. Half of it. I have the whole thing now. Belly button never popped out completely. No stretch marks either.

at 29 weeks, im an innie still....but my linea nigra is hilarious. below my belly button its thick, obvious and straight. i just noticed the line continued above the belly button too...but it deviates to the right..then continues up straigjt, and is very thin...lol
