I think it will eventually fade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/linea-negra-before-amp-after#post-307185 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 23:13:44 +0000 shopaholic 307185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the responses ladies! Seems like it's inevitable but it goes away eventually for most people? I just hope it's not hereditary and I'll have a forever one like my mom. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/linea-negra-before-amp-after#post-307168 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 22:46:30 +0000 leelee 307168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine around 26 weeks and at 13 wks pp it has shown no signs of disappearing anytime soon :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/linea-negra-before-amp-after#post-307148 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 22:05:46 +0000 BeachMama 307148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get mine till after delivery.

I'm barely 6 weeks pp now and it's still as dark as ever. I hope it goes away... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/linea-negra-before-amp-after#post-307135 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 21:39:36 +0000 skibobrown 307135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is gone now. I think it didn't really start going away until I stopped breastfeeding... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/linea-negra-before-amp-after#post-307109 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 21:24:06 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 307109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine went away after quite a while, maybe a year? It was barely gone when I got pregnant again, but I didn't get it the second time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/linea-negra-before-amp-after#post-307107 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 21:21:54 +0000 singingbee 307107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I still have a faint one and we miscarried at 20 wks. I don't know if my mom got one or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/linea-negra-before-amp-after#post-307094 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 21:03:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 307094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got it a bit but it went away pretty quickly (within 6 weeks?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/linea-negra-before-amp-after#post-307090 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 21:01:17 +0000 shopaholic 307090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was younger I always thought my mom had a C-section because of the dark, vertical line on her belly. It wasn't until a few years ago I learned it was the linea negra. I've read it should disappear and go away after pregnancy, but my mom still has hers (maybe because she had 3 babies?)</p> <p>Q: Did you get the linea negra and did it go away?<br /> Do you think it's hereditary and that I'm doomed to have an eternal dark line? </p>
