3rd Trimester

do you have that line on your tummy yet?

I forget what it's called and am too lazy to google it to write a proper post.

I had it with DS but haven't had it come yet with DD.... I know I have a few weeks left, but wondering if it's coming or not.

ETA: if you do have it when did you get it?

Re: do you have that line on your tummy yet?

  • I can't remember either, but I don't have it, and I really hope I don't.  I have four and a half weeks left and it hasn't shown up! Yay!

    LOL. Gold Star for you!

  • I've had it since late 1st tri.  DH calls it my "seam"

  • Yep. It's not super dark, but it's there.

    I don't care really if I get it. I had it with #1 and it went away before my c/s was doing healing.
    I just feel like every morning I'm waiting for that stupid line and a ton of strech marks to greet me.

    I got mine around 32 weeks or so. It's not super dark but it's there if you look.

    I should add: If you do have it when did you get it?

  • Mine popped up around 33 weeks.  I was shocked it took so long this time around.  Mine is not even and looks more like a bad spray tan line.Surprise

    Yep, me too.  The top part going to my sternum didn't come until mid-2nd tri.

    I don't remember. For awhile, I wasn't sure if it was the linea nigra or just a shadow of my happy trail (which I shave). Then H pointed it out, so I knew it was something new. That was at least a month ago, I think.

  • I don't have it and I never did get it with DD 1.
  • nope, and I didnt get it with my first DD either.

  • Unfortunately, I have had that (faintly) since about the time I started showing. I didn't say anything to my DH at first, b/c I kept thinking it was too faint for even him to notice, but eventually I said something and he had definitely already noticed it but was smart enough not to comment! Ha! Here's hoping you don't get it!

    This for me too! Don't have it yet, but the belly button is looking kind of goofy...

  • Yep.  I think it showed up at the end of the 1st tri. 
  • It's really not that bad. lol. None of the physical changes that I thought would be a big deal really have been, including the stretchmarks on my boob. It's just like "oh, I have stretchmarks now." Plus, the linea nigra is only temporary. :)
  • Yup!  I've got it & I've had it for ever...  I think I had it around 22 weeks or so.
  • This post is cracking me up. I have the deepest belly button and couldn't see anywhere near the bottom before.  Now, with twins, it has been slowly shallowing.  For whatever reason, it is all of the sudden darker skin.  But, I don't have the linea negra line.  Just today ny DH joked that I should have it, but it all ended up in my belly button cuz it's so deep. I assume it would be darker for the same reason someone would have the line, but that is just a guess.  Pregnancy is bizarre.

    I've had it for quite awhile. It doesn't really bother me since I know it will go away after the pregnancy. Mine is pretty dark, as I have olive skin. It's totally weird, because mine comes up in the normal line, and then makes an entire circle around my belly button. So funny looking!

  • I just noticed a faint line this morning at 28 weeks. Hoping it doesn't get to dark

  • I have had it since I was 16 weeks or so.  I had it with my first as well but I don't think it came that early with her.

  • I noticed mine around 28 weeks but it was faint and has stayed that way.
  • Lurking from 2nd Tri and I noticed mine a couple of days ago.

  • I didn't get one last time & I don't have one (yet) this time. I wouldn't feel like I was missing out on something if it never came, either...

  • I got mine a few weeks ago...its very light and you have to look for it.

    My bellybutton on the other hand....is non-existent.

    As DH said when I exclaimed "omg, look at my bellybutton"...

    "What bellybutton?"

    Yerp. Its flat.

  • Weird.  I've always had mine.  Or, probably at least since puberty.  Maybe it's because I have a darker complexion?  I also have three keloid (raised) scars around my belly button from chicken pox when I was 11. 

    I went to the gyn when I was 18 or 19 and she'd asked me if I'd had it done (the line and scarring).  I'm guessing she thought it was some type of body modification, as I had several facial piercings at the time, too.  I told her no, the line has been there for as long as I can remember and the scars were from chicken pox.  She said, "Oh!  Well, it's all so symmetrical!"  lol
