I didn't get one until after my son was born. I think maybe I had it all along, but when the skin wasn't as stretched it wasn't obvious? I don't see one now...but I also cannot really see much below my belly button anymore. ha

I had always heard it was skin color that determined whether you got a line or not, but it does seem like a lot of people aren't getting them in later pregnancies, so there must be something else at work too.

My heritage is mostly Scots-Irish, but I do have a yellowish skin tone from somewhere. Maybe it's my Cherokee great-great-great-great-great-grandfather.

As far as skin tone goes, I am very fair, blue eyes, but brunette hair. Mostly German/Polish decent, with some British Isles thrown in there too...I had a lady at the grocery store the other day ask me if I was Irish because I'm so fair and my hair has red undertones?

UPDATE:

So I did have a boy with the fainter linea nigra line!

Did anyone else with a fainter line have a boy too?

I had a faint line with DS that showed up sometime in the late 3rd trimester. This time, no line. I hope this girl/boy thing isn't true, I am really hoping for a girl!

Mine did end up getting fairly noticeable by the end of the pregnancy, I guess I was just impatient. I had a boy both times, both with a medium-to-dark line.

I thought I didn't have one, but it turned out I just couldn't see it between the big belly and my skin being so stretched. Now that my skin is loose, I can see it.

I didn't notice a line at all when I was still pregnant, but now that I'm PP, it's showing up.....but very oddly, it's starting at my belly button and heading NORTH! Has anyone heard of this?!?!?
