3rd baby, no linea nigra?

I'm coming up to 27 weeks and my husband asked when I'll get 'that line thing' as I haven't yet. Not even a hint of one.
I definitely had it with my first two so checked old pregnancy pics and with both I had it by the gestation I am now.

I know some women don't get one at all but to have had it in the past and not this time is strange isn't it?
Not that I'm complaining, I never liked the look of it but find it odd it hasn't appeared already.
Anyone else had the same?

I got it with my 2nd pregnancy which was a girl. Didn't get it for my boy and I'm 30w with a boy this time and no line

DramaAlpaca · 19/03/2020 15:39

Interesting. I never got one at all in any of my three pregnancies.

Tink2007 · 19/03/2020 15:40

This is my third pregnancy and I haven’t had one in any of them.

pollysproggle · 19/03/2020 15:41

Interesting,
Definitely not a sex thing in my case, this is my third boy!

It’s a hormonal thing isn’t it, I haven’t had it at all

I've had two children, never got it.

34 weeks here, don't have it yet

pollysproggle · 19/03/2020 17:04

I have no idea if it's hormonal. I thought it was pigmentation and due to skin tone?
I'm quite sallow in complexion but go very dark when I tan with lots of body freckles (very dark nipples at the moment!) but no line this time!
Maybe it'll appear later. I will say though this pregnancy is completely different in lots of ways. Third time round and I finally have the lovely glow, thick glossy hair and clear skin whereas I looked like Miss Trunchbull in my previous two.

i had it with both of mine and im really pale

bloodywhitecat · 19/03/2020 17:08

I'm sallow skinned, go dark easily in the summer but didn't have one with either of my pregnancies.

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 19/03/2020 17:09

I am also really pale and didn’t get with any of my DC. Boys and girl.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 19/03/2020 17:10

I never had one, not even a hint in either pregnancy. My belly button didn't 'pop out' either (TMI)

TerribleCustomerCervix · 19/03/2020 17:14

I’m pretty pale and got it with DC1 (a girl) but not with DC2 (boy).

I thought it was v weird, especially as there was only an eight month gap between pregnancies.
