I'm 21 weeks and so far nothing. I'm embarrassed to admit this but the other day I thought I had one and then I realized nope, just a mark from the seam of my yoga pants that were apparently too tight : (

Mine came early - maybe at 9 weeks? It literally showed up overnight.

Mine showed up super early. During my 1st trimester!

Mine came super late. I think it was like 30+ weeks before I started to notice it. But I still have it at 15 weeks pp.

I don’t think I have one yet. There may be a line that’s a little darker than my normal skin but nothing that I’d consider a true linear negra! I’m 27 weeks.

Mine only just started showing up right before I gave birth. It got darker in the first week or two postpartum. Now at 3.5 months, I think it's starting to fade finally.

I'm assuming it must have shown up sometime late in pregnancy... but I never noticed it until after I had given birth and my skin un-stretched.

I think mine appeared around 20 weeks or so? It's still pretty light, it looks almost like a light shadow.

No linea negra yet, and I'm 28 weeks tomorrow. Just last night my mom was telling me it was weird I didn't have it, since she did. She can't remember when it showed up for her but thinks it was before her 3rd trimester.

I am 16 1/2 weeks and don't have one yet, but I did notice last night that there is so much more hair from my belly button on down. Hubs was laughing at how shocked about this I was.

You know what's weird is that I've always had one since at least adolescence!! I never thought it was strange, but I didn't actually know what it was until much more recently. I always just thought it was following the line of muscle where a 6 pack "should" be (which I have NEVER ever come close to having). Of course now that I'm pregnant it's just gotten darker.
