Brown line down bump/belly

Hi
I had the brown line down my bump when I was pregnant with DS. Had DS 6 weeks ago now. Just wondering if anyone else had this line and when did it go? It's still there and very prominent with no signs of going anywhere yet!

It's called linea nigra - I had it with both of my pregnancies. I haven't thought about it for ages but now you've asked I can confirm that it has disappeared.

Home working has its advantages - could not have done a quick check of my midriff in the middle of the office Grin

Yes, I had this with my first pregnancy and am 5 weeks post-birth with my second baby and have it again. With my first, it did last for a while post-pregnancy (can't remember how long exactly, maybe a couple of months) but eventually started to rub off when I exfoliated in the shower.

I cannot remember exactly when it disappeared but youngest is one and it's definitely gone now!

@Madamswearsalot thanks! I knew there was a name just couldn't remember it and couldn't be bothered googling what it was called 😂 I knew that if I described it I'm your all knew what I was talking about

That's reassuring. I'll try exfoliating (I won't get carried away though 😆). Thanks guys!

I noticed i had mine still at 6 weeks post birth, but I put my Palmers cocoa butter stretch mark cream on it daily and it's now pretty much disappeared!
