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!
I could see this. I didn't have the line with either pregnancy and I got stretch marks instead. I had twin girls and this time 39 wks with a boy.

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.

Re: Linea Nigra
I had one and I had a boy. Mine went all the way up to my ribcage. It's faded since giving birth but still not gone yet.
Oh and I got stretch marks too, so I guess I'm just super lucky!

Re: Linea Nigra
I'm . I have a very, very faint one that comes up to my belly button.
ETA: I just noticed it last week at 34 weeks.
Also, I heard the sun can bring it out so that's another reason to keep baby belly out of the sunshine.

Re: Linea Nigra
With my first I got one really early on and it took over 9 months to go away after birth.
Now, with my 2nd it is only showed up at 32 weeks and is very light.

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