Anyone Else Have This?

‎09-16-2017 09:17 AM

I have this line that runs from my belly button down. It's a shade or 2 darker than my skin tone. It's a linea nigra & only pregnant women have it for the most part. I'm not pregnant and never have been. I've had this my whole life cause I remember being a little girl with it. So for me, it's like a birth mark.

 

Nobody has said anything about it.......not my doctors, not my parents except a friend of mine when I was 9. She asked what the line was & I said I didn't know.

 

Does anyone else have this? Just curious.

Cesarean lines usually run east-west ( side-to-side), instead of up and down.

@kelshar, you might find this of interest in terms of explaining why you have a linea nigra.
