And that was waaay after weaning. It finally started to fade, but then I got pg again, so it never totally left. With my 2nd, it started to fade sooner... closer to around 12-18 months pp (still not soon enough, but sooner), and I was still BFing. So I'm not sure BFing is a factor. </p> <p>I'm pg again (currently in the 2nd tri) and I can barely notice it! I guess it's different for each pregnancy, but in my experience, it's gotten lighter and less prominent with each child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-their-linea-negra-stick-around-a-lonnnng-time#post-1376373 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 02:08:31 +0000 NurseMommy 1376373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sapphiresun: I'm fairly average caucasian. Not as pasty as my DH, but not olive skinned either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-their-linea-negra-stick-around-a-lonnnng-time#post-1376371 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 01:57:26 +0000 Sapphiresun 1376371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NurseMommy: Sorry for the threadjack - but are you very fair skinned? I never got one either and nobody believed me until I showed them since people seem to think *everybody* gets it. I just chalked it up to very little pigment in my skin in the first place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-their-linea-negra-stick-around-a-lonnnng-time#post-1376351 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 00:56:10 +0000 erwoo 1376351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I think it went away around 6 months. With my second a little longer. I think I could still see a teeny tiny bit around 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-their-linea-negra-stick-around-a-lonnnng-time#post-1376347 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 00:51:52 +0000 NurseMommy 1376347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never got one, but one of my good friends' never went away?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-their-linea-negra-stick-around-a-lonnnng-time#post-1376183 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 21:45:12 +0000 Pepper 1376183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 7 months pp, no longer breastfeeding and it's still there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-their-linea-negra-stick-around-a-lonnnng-time#post-1376172 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 21:35:35 +0000 PinkElephant 1376172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was also still there when I got pregnant with #2 about 13 months pp. it's faded since then and is not really visible at 25 wks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-their-linea-negra-stick-around-a-lonnnng-time#post-1376129 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 20:59:32 +0000 Beyond2 1376129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was still there w,hen I got pregnant with number 2 and it's still there now.

Otherwise I think it would have hung around a lot longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-their-linea-negra-stick-around-a-lonnnng-time#post-1376102 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 20:34:23 +0000 yerpie110 1376102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still there at 12 months pp, although it is faded.<br /> My ob said it would take a year to disappear. I'm still waiting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-their-linea-negra-stick-around-a-lonnnng-time#post-1376049 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 19:47:48 +0000 mrskc 1376049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 months pp and mine is still there too. I've heard exfoliating it helps it to fade but I never tried it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-their-linea-negra-stick-around-a-lonnnng-time#post-1376039 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 19:35:05 +0000 Tidybee 1376039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 months pp and still there but faded.

Hoping it's gone by swimsuit season! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-their-linea-negra-stick-around-a-lonnnng-time#post-1376016 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 19:08:24 +0000 sslm 1376016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 months and a few days pp and it's still there!!! What is up with that???? Is it going to be there forever? Maybe until I stop bf'ing? Is it hormonal? AF has already returned so I thought maybe it'd go away, no such luck. </p>
