Isn't there supposed to be some line that goes all the way down your cheast and to your belly button and then further down?
Im 33 weeks and i haven't got it. Will i ever get it? When are you supposed to get it?

Cream city chick is right! It's called Linea Negra, which means: black line. (Don't you love how "inventive" scientists are when they name things :)
She is also right when she says not everyone gets it. Furthermore, not every pregnancy produces that line. I have a friend who has 4 children, she got it with the first and third pregnancy, but not the second and fourth!! Weird.
Usually dark-skinned, olive-skinned women are more prone to this line, but fair skinned women also get it - and of course on their skin it is more noticeable.
So, don't worry that you don't have it - the line is not an indication of anything, nor is the lack of the line. And at 33 weeks, if you don't have it, you probably won't get it - at least not this pregnancy anyway.
Enjoy the last few weeks of pregnancy and good luck to you for a completely happy, healthy birth for both you and baby!!!!

Congratulations! I never got that line and I don't know anyone who has. I'm not too sure what it's called but I'm pretty sure most women don't get them. Just keep rubbing lotion on that belly--just in case. Good Luck!

I did not get it during any of my pregnancies...nor have I known anyone who has. Not a big deal. Has NOTHING to do with the health of your baby.

That line only shows up for sobriety tests. If the father is sober, it is not needed and doesn't appear! LOL! (just joking, don't shoot me!)
