Yes, its called the linea nigra. My doctor said it is caused by hormones and usually fades a few months after pregnancy. I think it took me about 8 months for it to go away.

Yes , Its called Linea Negra (Black line) and its very normal.
It will go away after you have your baby. Its caused by the high concentration of pigmentation. You might see more dark spots on your body as well, like your nipples.
Very normal
Hope it was helpful

It is called a Linea Nigra. It is nothing to worry about and should fade sometime after the birth of your baby. It is more common in women with darker skin pigmentation but anyone can have it. Good luck.

Yes, but fainter than last time. It's called the Linea Negra. It is actually always there, but the hormones from pregnancy can make it turn brown.

Yes, that is where the umbilical cord attaches to your uterine wall for the placebo to flow. It's just darker and more noticeable when pregnant, so don't worry. That is normal.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I got a light one, and it went away when she was around 2 months old. I'm 13 weeks along and I'm sure it'll come back.

Yup. It was so cute the first time my hubby noticed it too. He was rubbing lotion on my belly, and said "honey I think u need to start washing your belly better". Lord help him is all I could say!!!
This is the first for both of us so he didn't know!!!
