Linea Nigra

At how many weeks did your linea nigra appear? I’ve been told by a few people that it happens to every pregnant woman but I’ve not yet got one. I’m not worried at all about it I’m just curious to see how many of you had a linea nigra and at how many weeks? I didn’t think ALL pregnant women got one.

I started seeing it at 25 weeks. It’s not super dark but it’s there!

You're right, not all pregnant women get one. I never did

I want to say when I started showing (around 25 weeks maybe) and it’s now started to fade away 6 months pp but like you said! Not all mama’s get them!

What is it?

Oh 8 months and lasted forever after 5 babies my body has never being the same again

I never got one X

I didn’t think I had one but my sons dad told me I did, I just couldn’t see it because it was only on my lower bump.
started around 30 weeks

Hey! Not all women do get it, it's just a skin pigmentation. But I've got a slight one. Started about 20 weeks I think x

About 35 I started noticing mine x

I want to know when it starts going away after birth 🤔 I feel so self conscious about it 😫

I'm 34 weeks and still don't have one! Just a little bit extra hair on my tummy 😂

I only noticed mine last week I think around 32 weeks.

I had one before ever being pregnant, I’ve had it for as long as I can remember.

I thought I was getting one the other day, then I realised it’s actually a trail of dark hair 😂

I got one, which surprised me big time. My question is does it fade away!?

I got mine around 3 months 😁

I haven't got one yet

I noticed mine really early maybe around 13 weeks under my belly button and then later above my belly button. I’ve heard it very different per individual

I got it at 16 weeks. And they say it happens mostly to momas who are carrying a baby girl! It didn’t get darker or bigger in size. It stayed the same till now, at 25 weeks

I got one at 28 weeks with my first, now my 2nd im 36 weeks and no line yet

I am 38 weeks and mine starts from the bottom to the top of my vagina lol. It’s not appeared on my belly! I had it since 25 weeks?

It doesn't happen to everyone. I'm on baby 5 and never had one

Im 35+5 and i dont have one

It doesn’t happen to everyone

I never got one.

Started noticing mine at 28weeks

Im 30+3 at the moment with a baby girl and had something appear around 18/19 weeks i think. But it is still very very light for me.

I got mine around 16 weeks it isn’t really dark but you can see it

I didn't have it

Anxiety’s going wild now..

For more context I’m 27 weeks today Thursday the 26th March! I went into Maternity assessment on Monday just gone as I was just worried about little man’s movements after being there on the monitor it went green, they did a quick scan said he seemed fine and they could see the waters were good etc! Anyways I had given them a urine sample and I’ve now had the results back saying I’ve got a uti and then something else saying group b strep? I’m now laid in bed worrying my head off, they have told me to collect some antibiotics today but I’ve got my glucose test currently fasting I go into the midwife’s at 8:40 will it be fine to collect after that and I guess I’m just sat thinking is everything gonna be okay? Sorry my minds just going everywhere at the minute

Nipt test

Has any one nipt test came bck inconclusive for gender but test test was good talk about my bmi was too high what do I do

Never had a CO2 check at midwife appts

Is this normal? Or is my midwife seriously lacking? She also hasn’t checked my weight since my 20 week appointment or maybe even earlier which I find really strange.

Dilation

Went into labor and delivery today to find out that I’m 1cm dilated any other moms going through this rn I’m so ready to have my baby boy even tho I’m 37 weeks

Waiting on my NIPT results for 9 days has sent into several panic attacks and what feels like the start of a major depression spell.

I’m literally disgusted with how much anxiety this test has brought me. If there is something wrong with it just return it already Jesus Christ.

Feeling guilty on first born

I’m being induced on Friday and I’ve just put my little girl to bed and am so upset that it won’t be just us anymore. Obviously we’re so excited for her new sister but I just feel guilty and sad that things won’t be the same again.

Does anyone else feel like this? 😞😞😞
