I had one that was pretty visible starting around maybe 5 months with my first pregnancy and it went away 5-6 months PP. Now, I'm 33w4days and still do not have one, not even traces of one as far as I can tell. I guess I could still develop one in the next few weeks though. Did anyone experience this with different pregnancies?
(I saw that there were a few similar posts in the archives, but thought I would ask again.)

I did not have one with DS, 6 years ago. One developed with S, and since I only had 3 months in between, it never went away and is getting even darker in this pregnancy.

I had a pretty visible one up to my belly button with DD, I think I noticed it around 18 or 19 weeks and it went away around 4-5 months pp. I'm currently 27 weeks with baby #2 and still no hint of it. I hadn't even thought about it until I read your post! Wonder if it will show up later....

Dark and visible with my first, and it went away within the first year pp. Didn't notice it with my second until just now. Since my tummy is deflated after giving birth, and I can finally see it. The line is only evident towards to the bottom of my stomach, but doesn't reach past my belly button. Weird.

Dark and visible with DS it went all the way up. It never went away completely by the time I got pregnant with DD 6 months pp. it started to fade. With DD it just went up to my belly button.

Got one with DD, my first pregnancy. Didn't get one with my second or third pregnancies (at least I haven't gotten it yet with my third pregnancy) and they are both boys.....

@Ree723: @Mrs. Bee: @MamaBehr: so interesting! Google hasn't really been able to tell me why this would happen but it's nice to know other ladies have experienced it too. (Not that I'm worried.)
