Linea Nigra

I has it!!!


Linea Nigra
That vertical line on your belly is a pregnancy trademark that shows up on moms-to-be of all stripes.
What it is: The dark vertical line that often appears between the belly button and the pubic area.

What causes linea nigra: Hormones, which are also responsible for your newly darkened areolas and freckles as well as an impressive variety of other skin anomalies, are behind this weird little stripe — which you've earned just by becoming pregnant.

What you need to know about it: Your baby is completely cozy and content inside your belly, but there's some wacky stuff going on outside. One especially noticeable oddity is that dark line running down the center of your tummy, from just under your belly button to your pubic area. This linea nigra — literally, the "dark line" — is likely to be more pronounced if you have darker skin, but never fear: It fades a few months after your baby is born.

Hmm I don't have mine yet... but my hair is becoming a little darker on my lower belly

 

[PitBullMommy]

I don't have one...don't think I'll get one either. I don't have a bump even..just fat rolls. I wish I could have the cute bump instead of looking fatter...and I even want the line!

 

[AquaDementia]

Ugh, i have a very prominent line and I don't like it.

 

[putzgirl]

I had a line with my first pregnancy but haven't gotten one yet with this one I am currently 19 weeks so we will see the farther I get along.

 

[Always&4ever]

I have a very light line

 

[smartie]

I dont have one yet, not sure I will!

 

[anita665]

Oddly I've always had it. Even when I was a kid. I think it's maybe got a big darker now that I'm pregnant but not much.

 

[xxleannexx]

[Linzi]

Oh I am so sorry you don't like it. I was soooo hoping I would get it. I think it is sexy, and lovely, and so feminine!

I am glad you are glad x

 

[clairebear]

i have a very faint one it doesnt reach my belly button at moment its about 4 inches below xx

 

[supernurse]

My line is very faint. Can't say I'm excited about it though.

Oh well, whatever turns you on!!!!!

 

[Holldoll]

I don't have one yet. I hope that I don't get it!

Pitbull, at 19 weeks, I just looked fat too! Heck, even at 20 weeks, I still just look like I ate too much! People that know me can tell I'm pregnant, but I've noticed strangers just look at my belly thinking I'm fat or pregnant, they can't tell.

 

[GAURDIANANGEL]
