I noticed this faint dark line running down my tummy from the belly button and got a little scared at first. Im in my second trimester now. Is this the same line everyone talks about?
I felt so curious when that line appeared on my bump. Someone told me it is the linea nigra and very normal, which reassured me. Honestly it kind of made my belly look even more special to me.
My mother in law said this dark line is very common and nothing to worry, just hormones. It faded slowly after my delivery like she said. No cream needed, it goes on its own, na.
That dark line down the middle of the belly is called the linea nigra. It comes from hormones and pigmentation changes, totally normal in pregnancy. It fades on its own months after delivery, so no need to do anything about it.
