imageWhat is linea nigra?

What causes the pregnancy line down your stomach? Does everyone get one? When will it appear? Does it ever go? Can I tell the sex of my baby from it?

    Hello Teenmom? And welcome to MadeForMums!

    Gosh, week 8 does sound early for your linea nigra to appear. But we know everyone is different and there is no 'set' time it should appear, if it appears at all.

    If you're at all worried, do mention it to your midwife, though.

    This is my 3rd and I am between 6 and 8 weeks and I have the line but it stops about an inch before my belly button. So I guess I also got it super early.

    It is only on my pubic area. It doesn't go above my belly button at all.
