    Linea negra

    Random question...I'm 28 weeks pregnant with my second bub. It dawned on me a couple weeks ago that I don't have the linea negra this time round (yet?). With first bub I'm fairly certain it was there and in dark-line full-force by this point.

    Has anyone had the belly line with one pregnancy but not with another?

    Is there any cause for concern that I don't have the linea this time round?

    cheers.

    It's definitely nothing to worry about if it hasn't appeared this time around. I found mine arrived later with each pregnancy. Just when I thought I would get away without one, it would appear a bit later LOL!

    My mum says she only had it with her first pregnancy and not with her next two.

    I didn't have one at all with DD but had a really really obvious one and early with DS.

    Hi daffomere
    Nothing to worry about. Not everyone gets this and it is not unusual to get it with one pregnancy and not with another
