So my DH asked me why I have a
line going down my belly  I guess I have the infamous "linea nigra" - it's from my boobs all the way down!!! Does everyone get this?

It's very common, though I didn't get it with my first pregnancy and I don't think I'm getting it with this one either.

I'm 20 weeks too and my belly button is stretched but hasn't popped yet.
I was just reading that there's an old wives tale that if the line starts at your belly button its a girl, if its starts under your boobs its a boy. So according to that I'm carrying a boy. We'll find out 8:30 tomorrow morning

Re: So my DH asked me why I have a
I got it...really long just like you. It looks like it got even darker AFTER the baby was born but thats only because my stomach shrunk and the dark skin is not as stretched out.
I still have mine 10wks PP....my friend had hers until about 11 month PP!!!
Funny story - one night when I was PG I was saw my belly in the mirror and said to DH "look I have the linea negra starting!" and he said "Oh that?? Thats been there for weeks"  I couldnt see it because of my big belly.

Re: So my DH asked me why I have a
I got it with Caiden and it was dark and I'm not dark skinned. It went from right below my boobs all the way down. It was still somewhat visible 2 yrs later. I'm starting to notice it again now and I'm 30 weeks this week.  It is normal though!

Re: So my DH asked me why I have a
I am 30w 5d and I have had it for a few weeks now. I "think" it goes all the way fromthe bottom to the top. It isn't very dark butthen again, I have no idea whatthe bottom part looks like since I can't see below my belly buttton!
Also, my belly button is just flat, didn't pop out. A lot of people say it might not?

Re: So my DH asked me why I have a
I definitely have one. We asked the OB about it (we were just curious). She didn't know exactly why PG women get it, but shared one theory with us - that it's an evolutionary thing, in that it was a way for men to identify women who were PG (before they were clearly showing) so that they wouldn't try to impregnate them.

Re: So my DH asked me why I have a
I got this too and got it pretty early on (12 weeks or so). It has not gotten much darker and I am very light skinned (irish). It goes all the way from my chest to below my belly button and am having boys.

So I guess it is right for me
