So I was wondering about the linea nigra (dark line of pigmentation down your belly). I had this when preggers with Ollie, but so far not with this pregnancy. Just curious to see if/when other women developed this.

Well I can't remember exactly when I got mine, but I can tell you that I still have it. Luckily it is only very faint now. Also I got a line going down and one going up from my belly button, is that normal?

I started getting mine around 20 weeks-ish, I think! But its heaps darker now...

I don't know if mine goes below my belly button, hard to tell with all the stretch marks in the way

I had one for quite a few months first time round and it ended up quite dark. This time I dont think I do, but there may be a faint line. Too many stretch marks to see

Mine was only below the belly button and really did only come up right at the evey end. Even then it was just faint.
