I have a burning questions today.
I want to see how busted the linea nigra old wives tale is.
I heard that with a boy, if you get a linea nigra it goes all the way up, and with a girl, if you get one, it goes to the belly button.
-
Mine went all the way up my belly and I had a boy
-
I didn't get one until AFTER birth...weird...and it went to my belly button.
-
@babycanuck: I think that's not super uncommon. It it for more months post partum than pregnant for my son.
-
I had one to my bellybutton with DS, both DDs I haven't had one.
-
I had one to my belly button with my first (girl) and none with my second and third (both girls).
-
@pastemoo: really? haha...I never heard of anyone getting it after. My sister had them from belly button down with all three of hers (1 girl, 2 boys) and I mine showed up about a month after the birth of my boy
-
@babycanuck: @pastemoo: This was me! Both times it didn't really show up until after my DDs were born, and didn't really go away until I got pregnant again with DD2.
My oldest DD (almost 4 years) has a little bit of a permanent linea negra going on. It is up to her belly button.
-
Had a girl, now a boy, no Linea for either.
-
Boy, and all the way to my boobs! It shot past my belly button about 2 weeks before I gave birth.
-
I never got one when pregnant with DD. Now I am pregnant with a boy and still no line. I'm really fair skinned though, I think they're less common if you're pasty white like me?
-
Mine appeared PP and it went to my belly button (girl).
-
So, mine is on the upper part of my belly...From the belly button up. And I am having a girl.
-
I never had a linea with either baby and one is a girl and one is a boy
-
I am PASTY white & I had a super dark one way up past my belly button. I had a boy! It stuck around for about 6 months and is finally starting to fade at 7.5 months pp.
-
Have one all the way up with this boy pregnancy and didn't have one at all with my girl! So weird.
-
Never had one, had girls.
-
Mine is faint and goes up past my belly button. I'm having a girl.
-
I got one pretty early up to my belly button only. Boy.
-
I had a super dark one all the way past my belly button from relatively early on with my first son. I am currently 34 weeks pregnant with my second boy and no line in sight!
-
I barely had one with either boy and it definitely did not go past my belly button.
-
@PinkElephant: so interrsting!
Never heard about the skin tone making a difference. Also interesting. -
Mine went a little past BB both times -- 2 boys.
-
Both times it's gone all the way up past my belly button. I have a daughter and am currently expecting a son!
-
I never got one. Have a boy and a girl.
-
With DD it went past my belly button to the top of my belly. With DS I don't have one, but it still has a week to appear lol.
-
No line for me. I had two boys
-
Mine went all the way up and I had a girl!
-
Mine goes all the way up and I'm having a
-
I didn't get it with DS or DD
-
@sslm: same
1 boy, 1 girl, both past my belly button -
@bloved: I'm like you, although I'm only 25 weeks. I had a line above my belly button with DS1, but so far no linea negra yet with DS2.
-
First time it went to my belly button - boy.
Second time I didn't get one - boy. -
1st- past my belly button, boy
2nd- didn't get one -
Mine showed up after birth, went well past my belly button, and I had a girl.
