I've still got mine. It was really dark and went below and above my belly button. I'm very fair skinned (2mins in sun = burnt).

It's lighter now but still definitely there.]]> Sun, 20 Jan 2008 20:58:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13736&PID=281856&title=linea-nigra-just-curious#281856 <![CDATA[Linea Nigra - just curious : I never got it, I&#039;m very...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13736&PID=281730&title=linea-nigra-just-curious#281730 Author: arohanui

I am fairly fair skinned and I got mine around 20 weeks and it definately darkened up towards the end of my pregnancy. I was staring at it today wondering when it will disappear. Doesn't bother me, as I won't be showing my tummy off for sometime. I am more concerned about the excess hair you get. Though I have been told it should fall out before 6 months after birth.]]> Sun, 20 Jan 2008 14:30:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13736&PID=281650&title=linea-nigra-just-curious#281650 <![CDATA[Linea Nigra - just curious : Yeah I am fairly fair skinned...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13736&PID=281299&title=linea-nigra-just-curious#281299 Author: aimeejoy
