It sounds like your friend has a case of Hyperpigmentation: This condition is a darkening of the skin and is caused by an increase in melanin, the substance in the body that is responsible for color (pigment). Pregnancy causes excess melanin production. Pregnancy can cause all kinds of skin conditions to appear and some to worsen or get better. The womans body goes through so many changes it is very hard to say what it is for sure, she should go see the doctor and they can rule out anything bad. Good luck...

I have not ever heard of this happening before, I would like the best idea for your friend would be to contact her obgyn as it seems to have something to do with her pregnacy, I sorry that I can not give you any more info I hope that shs finds out anwsers soon, also you should try calling you local hospital most of them have an ask the nurse line which you possibly could get an anwser from!

I hope she at least calls the nurse at her obgyn's office. She will probably tell her to come into the office.
Her insurance company may also have a 800 number for her to call to ask questions.

she should definately go to the doctors. one bit of info i can give you is that when you are pregnant you do get a linkthat goes vertically up and down your tummy, and it can take up to 6 months to go away, with a few people's never disappearing.
