Linea Nigra - what is yours like?

[MAT]

With Mackenzie the line appeared very early in the second trimester and was quite dark and it extended well past my belly button. With this pregnancy it has appeared very late in the second trimester and is no where near as dark as with Mackenzie - so maybe a boy this time around???

I don't have one - either that or it is just not visible at all - and I haven't had one with any of my pregnancies ... maybe my skin is just too fair?

With all my girls it was quite dark and went from my BB down. This one is paler and also extends up to my ribs. I'm having a boy this time around.

I only had one with DD1. Only to my belly button. Was gone a few weeks after birth.

Didn't have it at all in my last 2 pg's, but my skin isn't as dark as it used to be. I usually have real dark skin, but since having kids, I don't get out in the sun as much. Maybe that's why I only got it the first time.

I had one with both my boys and it went up past my belly button both times. I still have mine now (DS2 is 7 months old!), it was quite dark when I was pg, but is slowly fading. It took ages to go the first time around too. I have Sri Lankan in my bloodline, maybe that's why I get such a dark line?

I had one with DS that ran all the way up. It was still there at the beginning of this pregnancy.. But now has gone completely!

Mine went from my pubic hair to about 5 or so cms above my belly button... definately not as high as my xiphoid though. It was really dark and very obvious. I have a girl. Took around 10 months to fade completely I think. I was taking folic acid in my multi vitamin.
