    ''It tends to appear around the second trimester. It is caused by pigmentation in the skin where your abdominal muscles stretch and slightly separate, to accommodate your baby as it grows.''

  • Dont have it so far ... 27 weeks and a day ... my mom had it, my cousin had it ... dunno where mine is :P:P heeheh I was kinda looking forward to having it!
  • I have one all the way from under my boobs to right into my pubes! And my friend had her baby 4 weeks ago and still has hers so don't know when they are supposed to go.
  • Bio oil gets rid of them. Had it with my 1st baby, quite dark put bio oil on and it disappeared within 2 weeks. Only have it very faintly this time as I still use bio oil through the pregnancy.

  • I don't have one, I'm at 30 weeks now so will wait to see if it appears before the end!
  • hi i'm 23 weeks and have a faint line but i'm olive skinned and heard it's more likely to show on darker skins so it may get darker the bigger i get
