When did your linea negra develop? I had it with my last pregnancy and I haven't gotten it yet this time around so I'm wondering if I dodged it or if its just not time yet!
Mine never went away between my first pregnancy and this pregnancy. However they where just over a year a part. DD was born in August of 2010. I got pregnant early September 2012. Both times they were really light in appearance, and seemed to get darker after delivery.
Mine did not come in until after delivering DD1. It never had time to fully fade before my other two pregnancies. So I have a small l.n. right now, but it is just on the lower half of my belly.
I got mine really early, like 16 weeks or so. Although it was faint and only came to my belly button. Now it is darker and up past my belly button, this probably happened around 25 weeks.

I noticed mine around 28 weeks. Has anyone else noticed that their linea negra is not quite centered? I laugh because mine is a little bit off centered haha!

I noticed mine starting to set in at 33 weeks, but it is still barely visible. I find it odd that mine is not exactly right in the center of my belly...it's a little to the left of my belly button. I'm wondering if this could be because my tummy is always bigger on the right side from LO squishing over there. My tummy is always lopsided, never round LOL.
I just noticed it very faintly yesterday. If you are not focusing on my belly, you wouldn't know it was there. I am really pale though, so that may be why!

YES! Mine is very dark and centered on the bottom. It is lighter on the top, but off-center. I laugh every time I look at my belly. Mine showed up practically over night around 25 weeks.
My sister's OB told her typically the darker the l.n., the less likely you are to get stretch mark. I have no idea if that is really true or not. But my sister and I both had dark lines and no stretch marks (yet, for me).

I can't remember when mine showed up. Sometime late 2nd tri maybe? I dunno, it seems like I've had it forever, but then it seems like I've been pregnant forever! Lol! Mine isn't crazy dark but then I'm really pale. It's not centered & it drives me up the wall b/c it makes me think my belly is lopsided! Lol!!
Re: linea negra
I got it around week 26 and it was pretty dark.
One day it wasn't there and the next day it was...

Mine has just appeared within the past week or so - very light but def. there.
