Brown line on stomach

[Loveleen]

Dear All, I just noticed a brown line running from my top of the tummy. Has anyone else also got that. I read in a book that it does show up in some women but then it fades away after pregnancy..Is this true..


Does applying cocobutter helps lightning that line

Yeah I've got it running down from my belly button - I think its a normal pregnancy thing and fades afterwards. I'm using coco butter to try and help guard against stretch marks but not worried about the line.

I didn't have aine until last week but mines only slightly noticeable! I didn't get this line with lacey until 2 weeks before I was due and it went straight after I'd given birth!

Thats great Thanks. I will be more regular in applying my coco butter now as the line is quite visible now..

Hey hun its quite normal, i got it last time but towards the end of the pregnancy. And yes it fades away after giving birth so dont worry. Definetly keep ur stomach well moisturised!! xx

hey, mine started at about 18 weeks and is quite dark now, i reckon it fades afterwards but i really don't mind it that much.
