In my first pregnancy that dark line on the tummy came pretty late. Now im expecting again, 10 weeks, and curious if it shows up earlier the second time. Mothers of 2, when did urs come?
For me, it appeared around the 4th month when I was staying at my mum's place. My grandmother saw it and said it's just the baby's path, which felt so warm to hear. It definitely showed up earlier than my first pregnancy.
Honestly, I was so busy throwing up till week 16 that I barely noticed it. But yes, during my second one, it became visible around week 14 or 15 itself. Don't worry, it's just hormones and completely normal, it will fade eventually.
When I first saw that dark line on my belly, I felt a deep wave of emotion, like a physical connection to my baby. It represents such a beautiful phase of growth. For my friend, it popped up by the 3rd month itself in her second pregnancy.
I am currently in my second trimester with my first baby and mine just started showing faintly last week. I'm actually a bit anxious about how dark it will get. Does it really appear much faster and darker in the second pregnancy for everyone?
Oh god, in my second pregnancy, that line appeared so fast I didn't even get time to track it! I am in my third trimester now, dragging myself around, and that dark line looks like a highway on my giant belly. It usually pops up much earlier the second time around, like early second trimester.
I can only share my own experience, but during my second pregnancy, I noticed that dark line around week 13. In my first one, it didn't show up until almost the third trimester. It really varies from person to person.
