What is the straight line on stomach during pregnancy?

Question

Noticed a dark straight line coming up on my stomach this week, it wasnt there before. Im 5 months now and it looks a bit weird honestly. Is this normal in pregnancy or should i ask my gynac?

Haan na, it is just due to pregnancy hormones, almost everyone gets it. Marathi madhe pan look at it as a sign of baby growing. Deliver nantar thodya divasani automatically chala jayega, so stress nako gheu!

It's called linea nigra, totally harmless hormone thing. Mere case mein also it appeared around second trimester. Since PCOS makes hormones messy, I just double-checked with my doctor during the scan to be sure.

Same here, that's just linea nigra and it's completely normal during pregnancy. It goes away gradually after delivery, so nothing to worry.

Oh god, I panicked so much seeing that dark line and thought my skin was splitting! But my gynac laughed and told me it's totally normal hormone changes. It vanished on its own a few months after my baby was born.

Yeh natural hai, isko door karne ke liye koi costly creams lagane ki bilkul zarurat nahi hai. Just keep your belly moisturized with simple coconut oil after bath so itching also doesn't happen. delivery ke baad automatically light ho jayega.
