I thought it had to do with your skin pigmentation. Women who are fair don't have that extra pigment in their skin and don't get it, and darker-skinned ladies do, so they do.




I thought this too, but my belly is very fair. I do tan though but I'm not dark by any means.



nope, Im super fair and I had it. its caused by hormones.

That one is definitely not true, sorry to say lol. I know a lot of people who had it and some had girls, some had boys. I never had one last time and I had a boy. I have a theory (have NO idea if it's there's any truth to it, just based on experience of all my friends) that you either get a linea nigra or stretch marks (or neither)- but you don't het both. I've surveyed seriously at least 10 or 12 friends and not one had both!



very interesting. I had a linea nigra with DS & not one stretch mark.



Same here...interesting observation!

I got mine at about 21 weeks. It's not too dark, thank god! But it does come above my belly button - halfway between my belly button and sternum! Team Chat Icon, so we'll wait and see!
