I have had 4 babies and never had linea nigra. Not all pregnant women get this line and it is more common in women who already have darker pigmented skin. In some women the line goes even higher than the belly button, as high up as the bottom of the rib cage. If a woman is going to get linea nigra, it generally begins appearing in the second trimester and can last until several months after giving birth. Sometimes the line never fully disappears. It is caused by an increased production of the pigment melanin.

I started to notice mine about 6 weeks ago. I am now 34 weeks pregnant. It's not very dark though.

Around 24 weeks or so...
I've never heard of it as a "mothers line" but as a linea nigrea... good to learn, though!

No. you're basically traveling no longer shifting and you do no longer ought to offer "30 days word." there is not any such rule in Florida. although, i could relatively advise getting an settlement in place.

I don't really have one. Not everyone gets it. Certain skin tones are likelier to develop that than others.
