The linea nigra is that dark vertical line that often appears between the belly button and the pubic area.
The Old Wives Tale says that you get a full one (all the way up past the belly to the breast area) means you're having a girl.....and only to the belly button (if you get one at all) you're having a boy.
This was true for my DD - I had the line all the way from the pubic area to right under the breast area......it was also true for two of my other friends who also had girls.
I didn't know what I was having with #1 and I don't know for #2......i don't have the line yet either so I'm wondering.....
For those of you who KNOW you're having a girl, do you have the line and if so, how far up does it go? Does anyone not have a line but know they're having a girl.
......and on the flip side.
What do those of you have, that know you're having a boy?

Same here. Mine showed up around 14 weeks too....way early! It has only progressively gotten darker...
This is pregnancy #3 (I have a DS, a DD, and am having another DS) and I've NEVER got the linea nigra.
FWIW, I'm quite fair.
I thought it was the other way aronud, all the way up boy to the belly button a girl....I think I read that in What to Expect.
Either way I have no idea what I am having and mine is on the dark side and goes to almost my boobs.

I don't have one yet and I'm having a girl.
I had a full one with my last 2 pregnancies and they were girls too.
I've never gotten it with either pregnancy.. at all.
