Linea Nigra

Karla Q. · February 2017

Had it with my first pregnancy but I can't remember when it showed up. Anyone have it yet?

I've never experienced linea nigra during a pregnancy before. None yet, so we shall see...

I didn't have it with my first pregnancy. I think it's still a bit early to be able to see it.

I had it with my first pregnancy, it wasn't very dark, but I haven't noticed anything yet.

I had it with my first pregnancy 9 years ago...and I have also had a tummy tuck since then (clearly this was not exactly planned lol) so I am interested to see if it makes an appearance this time! From what I remember I think it shows up more around the half way mark.

I had it with my first and didn't with my second or third.

I did not have it with my first. With my second it didn't show up until around week 30 when my belly was really growing. It didn't completely fade for about 6 months pp.

I had it with my first pregnancy. I feel like it started towards the end of the 2nd trimester.

I don't know if this counts but I also got VERY hairy along that line lol lots of little black hairs. They're gone now but DH made fun of me for it a lot!

I had one with both previous pregnancies. I think mine shows up around 3rd tri.

Becky012016 · February 2017

@daniellelynette that happened to me too! DH made so much fun of me. It's already happening again lol

I had it with my first. We took the boat out last weekend and can see it coming but still verrry faint.

According to The Ovia app, the Linea Nigra can start showing up around 11 weeks (for some reason this is one of the articles they pushed for me this week). Nothing for me, but my nipples haven't changed shape or color yet either.

I did have one with DS, but I don't remember when it showed up. I don't think it was until 3rd tri for me, and as a PP mentioned, it didn't really fade until around 5-6m PP.

I'm a FTM, have a medium skin tone and I JUST noticed it today, because I shaved down there last night (sorry tmi). It's not super dark but definitely noticeable and goes just below my belly button. Honestly I've always sort of had it very lightly though (probably because of my skin tone) but it's definitely more noticeable already.. I'll be 12 weeks on Friday!

stephy_p · February 2017

I think I may already have it! I am 12 weeks 4 days and noticed a faint line from right below my belly button and down. I read it usually doesn't affect fair skinned women, and I am about as pale as they come.
