I'm 32 weeks and no sign of it yet. I thought it usually showed up by this point?
ETA: I think I got it late second tri or early third tri with both of my daughters.

You may not get one. I never did with my older one. 21 weeks with this one and so far no sign of one.

Really really late. Might have been around 37 weeks (daughter born at 38 weeks) or might have been post-partum even. Currently 35 weeks with #2 and no sign of it yet.

Some people don't get it! I think mine was faint around 18 weeks and has since gotten darker.

Mine started around 23 weeks I believe. Got progressively darker after that. And I'm very pale skinned so I was pretty surprised!

I got one around 5 months with LO1. With LO2 I don't remember seeing one at all, but after I gave birth I noticed a very very faint line.

I noticed it around 30 weeks and only on the bottom side of my belly button. It was so faint that I thought it was the indention from the seam on my pants after wearing them all day! Now at 35 weeks it's still very faint and doesn't go up very far.

I never noticed mine until I was postpartum. And it is still there over eight weeks after birth.

Same as @Mrs.KMM: never noticed it until postpartum (and I looked). Still there after 5 weeks.

I was in the hospital when I got mine, so around 30 weeks, I would guess.

With my first it was really early. Like in the first trimester. I remember my mom was really surprised. But with this one, I could faintly see one below the belly button in the second trimester but I am just starting to see the full line now at 28 weeks. It's still light.

I kind of still had a light one from when I was pregnant 4 years ago - I have olive skin, and its a light browny colour. currently at almost 34 weeks it has darkened a little, but i do also have pigmentation marks randomly on my belly. my old stretch marks have also started to expand in the last few days, I think baby is having a growth spurt as my pyjama buttons are looking a bit tighter.

20-25 weeks it was light and got darker later in, took FOREVER to go away though

I think somewhere in the second trimester. I do remember feeling surprised at how long it took to disappear after giving birth. I think it took a couple of months to completely disappear!
honeydew / 7235 posts
Both times it appeared pretty late in the third trimester and took a little to disappear, maybe a month or two.

I don't remember when it appeared last time, but I'm 16 weeks now and noticed it for the first time last night.
