late appearing linea negra?

I didn't think I was going to get it, but about two weeks ago, I noticed a faint, pinkish line above my belly button. Now I notice it a little under my belly button.

It's not brown, which I expected it to be (but I am fair skinned, maybe that is why). Anyone else not get one until the end?

Re: late appearing linea negra?

  • It probably is because you are fair skinned. I got mine around 6months, and it is brown, but not as dark as it was last time when I was out in the sun a lot more. It did fade away last time too though, so I have faith it will this time. My nips faded back too, haha!

  • Mine just showed up in the last several weeks and it's above my belly button. I may have it beneath my belly button as well but it's hard for me to see (even in the mirror!) if that's the case.

  • Yup! I just noticed one a couple of weeks ago. It is so faint, I think I'm the only one who can even remotely see it. But, it is there. Mine is pinkish in color too.

    Oh, I'm so glad you said that. I was worried about that - I want my regular boobies back!

  • Are we SUPPOSED to get one? Because I still haven't. Maybe mine will turn up later? I hope not though, haha.

  • Not everyone gets one.

    It's actually more common in darker tones. 

    I'm a bit tanned in complexion, so my line is probably pretty dark compared to what you guys are describing. Sad

  • I haven't gotten the 'line' and I think it is because I am so white that I am reflective BUT i did get late in the game stretch marks! haha yay... I think that was because i 'dropped'. I would rather have the line than the stretch marks. :/

  • This time around I got the line on the bottom around 33 weeks (I think because we were on vacation and I was in the sun!) and just noticed it creeping up over my belly button this morning around 37 weeks.

    Much different from last time, when it appeared around 15 weeks!

  • I noticed it this weekend. Its faint and pinkish, I just assumed I wouldn't get it either since I am super fair.
