Linea negra

Just wondering who has it?
I had it with ds, but so far I don't. I can't remember how far along I was with him when it showed up, or when I noticed it: ; for a long time I though I was seeing the imprint of the pants seem!
But so far, nothing. Wondering if baby's gender has anything to do with it, too. . .

I don't have a linea negra with this one (or with my other two either).

My belly button didn't pop out with my last two pregnancies (got flat the last coupleof weeksand I doubt it will this time either.

I have one that starts right under my sternum and goes down to my "pubic area". It looks like a suntan mark that just hit one stripe of my belly.

My belly button hole has stretched (it was really tiny) but it is not anywhere near flat yet.... I've wondered if it will pop out or not.

I had it really bad with my oldest daughter and she was born with one. She still has it a little.

Had the line with dd--don't remember when I got it.

Don't have the line this time.

My belly button popped with dd. :LOL Dh was like, "The baby's done."

I've never gotten the linea negra; always wanted to, though ! I did develop...chloasma? melasma?... "mask of pregnancy" on my face with my second, though. It was dark splotches right above my cheekbones, near the outside of my eyes. Made me look I'd been sunbathing with sunglasses on, lol!

Joni, due 7-17-ish

I had the line with Zoie. For the longest time I just thought it was my 'happy trail'. :LOL But then I shaved the area and the line was still there. I am a little slow...

This time I don't see one at all. But I barely have time to look at myself, and frankly, I don't like looking at myself.

And my belly button is practically inside out

I just have the one I had with my son. It is faint and on the top part of my stomach. I didn't get it until about 32 -34 weeks with him.

My bellybutton is flat and has been for weeks.

Not yet. I had one with Goo.

With Goo, my belly button popped on a Saturday, the next day, I was in labor. We called it the "pop up timer" too!

I didn't get the pregnancy line with my last pregnancy, and so far, not with this one, either. I don't really notice what my bellybutton is doing. I think I read somewhere that you need more folic acid in your diet if you get the linea negra?? I'm not posative, so don't quote me on it.
