Linea Nigra... Anybody?!

Lauren0813 · August 2015

So this is my third pregnancy and I am currently 30w2d.... I got the Linea Nigra (dark line) with my first two pregnancies, but I haven't yet with this one! I remember noticing it pretty early on with the others! Anyone else not have it yet?! I thought everyone got it

Bettytteb · August 2015

No sign of it here, either at 29w1d. FTM so I have no other experience to compare it to, but it's fine by me if it doesn't show up.

rubirubi89 · August 2015

I got mine pretty early on. I assumed it was different for others depending on skin type/color. What's different this time around for you? Different sex baby? Stuff like that?

sarahanne25 · August 2015

Yup, I was getting curious about that! No line for me at 28w3d

solitude1984 · August 2015

No line for me either. Not that I'm complaining lol.

nbpa3027 · August 2015

Didn't have t for my first (boy),
Had it with my second from pretty early on (girl), and nothing yet this time around. We are team green, so it will be really interesting to see if it is a boy again!

Cook3133 · August 2015

I think I got a very faint one with my first 3 but can't realy remember... All boys and still nothing with this one

grapesoda1111 · August 2015

I have it. DH was concerned it was a stretch mark. Oh sweetie, just wait till post birth.

Crickettt · August 2015

I had a pretty dark one all the way up from about the halfway mark with my son. I just noticed a lighter one only up to my belly button a couple weeks ago. I'm team green at 27w3d now.

oliarnmom1517 · August 2015

Nope still nothing here.. Got a few new stretch marks but nothing else besides that..

MoonUnitNugget · August 2015

Oh yes. Mine is in full force! Top and bottom.

lyankowi · August 2015

None with my first, none so far this time either.

Novvbaby · August 2015

I'm 26+2 and mines is dark

TallyKyle · August 2015

FTM at 28 weeks 4 days. No line here, but I am very pale. I guess I will wait to see if anything shows up!

tayzav · August 2015

FTM 30+1 and no line, and notttttt complaining. I don't want one at all. I'm surprised though since I'm Italian and have pretty tan skin.

Ceridwen77 · August 2015

I got mine about a month ago. Top and bottom, and the top one is crooked!!

jamiem522 · August 2015

I don't have a pigmented line but I've got a step up from peach fuzz in full effect.

poupoule · August 2015

Nothing for me, but I was not expecting one

Lolo427 · August 2015

Yes ma'am FTM at 30w 4 d and I've easily have had it for a month or so. Currently no stretch marks really ( I have 3 small small ones on each hip that I had prior due to losing a lot of weight 2 years ago), so I'll take it.

Alexis514 · August 2015

I've had it since pretty early on. Although I'm fairly pale, I definitely have more of a yellow undertone. I know people talk about the color of one's skin being a factor (olive/darker tones), but maybe the skin's undertones play a role? Mine isn't terribly dark, but it's definitely noticeable.

rox7777 · August 2015

I had a very dark one with DS1, he was a winter baby so my skin was fairly pale. I have one this time around, another boy, but it's a lot paler which I'm attributing to the fact that my skin is a lot darker due to being pregnant all summer.

Same here - the top part is straight until about halfway up from my bellybutton, and then it veers off to the left.

TacoSarah · August 2015

I have a bottom one that is very very faint, blink and you'll miss it. I noticed it at about 24 weeks and now I'm 30+1 and it hasn't changed. It's more noticeable when I use self tan.

NancyG1661 · August 2015

I didn't get it with either of mine. My friend who is pregnant with twins got it around week 11.

doodleoodle · August 2015

FTM so I have nothing to compare this to, but I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow and don't have one. I'm so pale that I'm practically clear though so, there's that.

CarrieOct15 · August 2015

I'm 30 weeks & I've had mine for quite a while now. Top & bottom. Not everyone gets it.

2octobermama · August 2015

26+5 and nothing so far. I had it with my dd last time, but can't remember when it showed up. Having a boy this time.

knolliepollie · August 2015

I'm 27w, 3d and I don't have it at all yet. Curious as to when it will be coming as well....

amwright33 · August 2015

I started to get mine around 5 weeks. It's what prompted me to take a pregnancy test. Now it's really dark top and bottom. Kinda cool.

Too funny, mine is crooked right from the belly button and then straightens out!

Another reason, as if I needed more, to refuse any bare belly photos!

rachswi · August 2015

I don't have one but I also have extra padding around the middle

mrsgabus · August 2015

Didn't have it with my first , got it lightly with my second and no sign with this one

kmd91 · August 2015

I have one that I can just barely see in the mirror. But if I take a picture of my belly from under, it's pretty obvious that it's there.

Lauren0813 · August 2015

Thanks guys! Looks like I'm not along here! My first pregnancy was a boy and it was a smooth pregnancy, second pregnancy was a girl and a rocky pregnancy... This pregnancy we aren't finding out the gender and it's been a little bit of both pregnancies mixed haha! So I can't even guess what this baby is! Can't wait to find out though! I had the line with both my boy and girl, so that doesn't help me much lol!!

urby87 · August 2015

30w and change, and I don't have one, either.

Knottie15742183 · August 2015

Got mine pretty early on, I don't mind it. I'm. Just happy I don't have any stretch marks

WeirdAlice · August 2015

Didnt.have it with my first and don't have it this time. 28 weeks +4

makeoutside7 · August 2015

I am 30 weeks 1 day and have had mine since 16 weeks. Top and bottom and finally 2 weeks ago, stretch marks began to appear. A bit of a bummer about the stretch marks...but there is only so much cocoa butter can do! Lol. Not a big deal, something I expected about pregnancy and husband is fascinated by them.

lr0619 · August 2015

I'm 30 weeks today with my first and no line!

I noticed a couple stretch marks on my left hip yesterday.. Will be interesting to see where else they pop up.
