Linea Nigra- when did yours appear?

Did it start earlier with a subsequent pregnancy? I'm only 7 weeks, very pale & already see a faint line, but everything I read said it doesn't happen till 2nd trimester! When did you see yours?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I didn’t ever get one

Neeentay · 26/04/2020 15:14

In my first pregnancy I notice a very faint brown line appearing the day before I tested positive. Didn’t think that was even possible!

Togepi · 26/04/2020 15:47

I'm 30 weeks and don't have one yet!

sarahc336 · 26/04/2020 15:59

2nd pregnancy here and mine is really light but came back around 8 weeks, with my first it didn't show until well late in the 2nd trimester xx

MsSian93 · 26/04/2020 16:03

Mine appeared around 13/14 weeks and is getting darker the further along I get!

Lady1576 · 26/04/2020 19:35

I can’t remember when I got mine. It’s quite dark. I’m not pale-skinned but not really olive either. I’ve still got mine 8 weeks post-partum and wondering when/if it will go away... No stretch marks though...

Neeentay · 26/04/2020 21:30

DC2 is 8 months and I‘ve still got mine too, although it has faded

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 26/04/2020 21:31

Never. 3 children

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 26/04/2020 21:32

oooh and no stretch marks either as @20viona said

wonder if there is a link?

maa1992 · 26/04/2020 21:33

I never got one

theseriousmoonlight · 26/04/2020 21:39

I got one with my first pregnancy but can't remember when exactly. I'm 33 weeks 2ytb second pregnancy and haven't got one this time.

mynameiscalypso · 26/04/2020 21:40

I'm quite pale and got mine about 12 weeks I think. It's still there and DS is just over 8 months.

Nokita · 26/04/2020 21:43

I always had it, since little kid (I know, I’m a weirdo) and got more dark at 18 weeks

lionsmum · 26/04/2020 22:14

@Elouera with my first I got one around 16 weeks, almost 9 months since I gave birth to my DS and it hasn't gone away, I'm now pregnant again and I think it'll be at the very start this time lol

Hodge85 · 26/04/2020 22:16

33 weeks and nothing yet, mum keeps asking me because she got one with me.

Cassie71 · 26/04/2020 22:28

I've had one all my life, my 9 year old DD also has one.

november90 · 27/04/2020 00:57

I had one with my first but nothing this time around and I'm 38 weeks! I don't understand the science behind it but every pregnancy treats you differently so don't worry about getting one early ❤️

TheCraicDealer · 27/04/2020 01:22

Must have been about 28 weeks with mine- I'm fair skinned, freckles etc. No stretch marks though. DTwin was exactly the same with her pregnancies so I don't think there is a link with stretch marks.

DD is nearly 7 months and I still have a very faint line between my belly button and ribs. I'd got so used to it I didn't even notice it fading until this thread made me look!

RainMinusBow · 27/04/2020 04:42

I'm brown-haired and 35 weeks' into my third pregnancy. Never had one at any point so I wouldn't worry!

Ang3113 · 27/04/2020 07:59

Very pale. I have had mine since my positive test at 6 weeks. Hadn't realised that wasn't normal 😂

Siobhan1989 · 27/04/2020 08:29

I’m really pale and I’ve got one.. I’ve had it since around 16 weeks x

NelliePig · 27/04/2020 14:29

32 weeks and nothing there for me! Xx

N12345625 · 27/04/2020 14:49

Around 26 weeks with my first. I got pregnant again when my daughter was 7 months old and it didn't disappear so I technically had one with week 1 with my new pregnancy 😂 (currently 12 weeks)
