Linea nigra and baby's gender

[auroara78]

I've never had one either.

I have carried three babies to term -- two boys and one girl -- and had a line only to my belly button with all three. For me, the major difference with my daughter was that my face and hair always looked nasty (oily and dirty and spotty, ick). Sorry!

I had a line just up to my belly button with both boys, it was darker with DS1 than with DS2.

Thought I would update on here that mine finally did arrive this pregnancy, around 30 weeks, and it goes from my pubes up to my ribs. Don't know the gender of the baby yet.

I had it go all the way up my stomach and fade out just under my rib cage during pregnancy with the boys. Didn't have time to develop with my last pregnancy but it probably would have been the same.

ive never had one either, do they only affect certain skin tones? Or is it just random/genetic?

[Hobbermittens]

Not sure about skin tones? I am pretty pale white (Irish/German/Russian ancestry) and I have gotten it every time.

I had it twice out of my 4 full term pregnancies, it went from pubic to belly button and stopped and I have all boys The other times I never noticed a linea nigra
