No linea nigra?

PharmDMom · August 2013

So I'm 34 weeks and don't have a linea nigra at all yet. I had it my entire 3rd tri with DD so I just expected it to show up. Granted, with her, it was later in the pregnancy and it stayed pretty light but I did get it. I know it's not bad to NOT have one I'm just curious how many others don't have it yet!

Still nothing over here...32 1/2 weeks. Had it for a while with DS so kind of weird it hasn't shown up. Wondering if it's a girl this time?

JLW0504 · August 2013

I don't have one yet. I am 32w2d with a girl( I'm also a FTM, if that matters)

CousinVicki · August 2013

no sign of it, and never had one with my son.

msronzio · August 2013

I got mine around 20wks. I'm italian and olive-skinned. It goes almost all the way up my freaking chest lol

Mmhodges07 · August 2013

Not even close to having one either!

Alexandrap · August 2013

I was told they are more common in women with a darker complexion but I don't have one either and I have pretty good color. Don't think I had one with DS either...

cait8387 · August 2013

Nope, don't have one either...

jnsmith85 · August 2013

I have one that goes the whole length of my belly. It's not too noticable, but if you take the time to look you can definitely notice it. I am fair skinned and VERY prone to freckles.

taylormarie923 · August 2013

I have had mine since the very beginning, maybe around 10 weeks?

Mine is not lined up with my belly button, but more off to the side and it drives my OCD brain crazy.

allymp13 · August 2013

34w 1d, no line. I'm kind of hoping it never happens.

yesthisiskim0401 · August 2013

Last time mine was REALLY light from week 30 on. And it went from the bottom of my belly button down.

My linea nigera just showed up this week, or else it's my belly hair getting darker LOL. But this time it's from the top of my belly down to the top of my belly button. WEIRD.

Kathy1013 · August 2013

I'm 32 weeks and don't have one... And I am super tan (Half Indian) I was wondering why I didn't have one the other day.

Ajoyd · August 2013

Nothing here at 32.5 weeks! I am very fair as well and wonder if I'll get one at all.

allieb543 · August 2013

35 weeks tomorrow and nothing here. I am fair as well.

jen-and-ryon · August 2013

I have a very light one that didn't show up until recently. You have to look hard to see it.

HFrizzle · August 2013

I've never had one with any of my pregnancies until now. It's super faint, as I am ghostly white, but its there.

norbert5 · August 2013

I had one with both DD1 and DD2. It actually didn't really leave between then two pregnancies, they are 19 months apart.

I do not have one with this DD and I am pretty surprised. I am very fair and mine was very dark and went all the way up my bump to my rib cage before.

I am just chocking it up to every pregnancy being different.

pmarie33 · August 2013

I don't have one yet either.

LizC216 · August 2013

I don't have one and I didn't get one when I was pregnant with DD1.

BrittanyCupcakes · August 2013

32/4 and nothing here yet. My "happy trail" is off center now, though, so if I do get a line, I'm sure it will also be off center.

huntjul · August 2013

34 weeks here and no linea nigra.

MissJackieMeri · August 2013

I have one, I think it started around 20 weeks also.... I'm Hispanic, FTM

alfan004 · August 2013

No line whatsoever! 33 weeks and FTM.

Inn2 · August 2013

31 weeks, tomorrow, and nothing yet!

Mine showed up in first tri also. Below my bellow button is centered. Above my belly is not centered. It kind of bugs me also.

ksimo6 · August 2013

Almost 33 weeks and nothin.

Welshgirl12 · August 2013

34 weeks and I dont have one!

Flutterby00 · August 2013

Nope, nada. 34 weeks and pale skinned.

RunningGal900 · August 2013

35 weeks here and not one in sight. I didn't get one until after I delivered my son.

Same for me!

PharmDMom · August 2013

Ok so this is way more common than I thought! Thanks for satisfying my curiosity ladies!

echosdream · August 2013

I'm almost 34 weeks and I don't have one, either. I'm pretty light, but not super pale. I heard that not everyone gets it though?

zenjenjen · August 2013

Nope, nothing here either. I'm fair-skinned, so that is probably why.

reederah · August 2013

32 weeks, don't have one and didnt have one with my son. I have a scar running up my belly though, so maybe that's in the way?

chelseyestelle · August 2013

31 weeks and I think I see a faint line starting to appear above my belly button. I don't know.

CarolinaGirl411 · August 2013

Mine goes about the length of my belly and it's been there since before I finished first tri.

Mine is from the top of my bump down to my belly button and I also found this odd. Just showed up within the last couple weeks, I am 34w 1d. I'm olive skinned as well and I'm surprised how long it took to show up and how light it is...
