Thanks ladies just gonna wait it out and see if I get one!xxx

 

[ChloeSmith]

I've had one since about 13 weeks but it keeps getting darker and longer! I do have quite dark skin though xx

 

[smnicholson92]

What is this? Xx

It's a dark vertical line you get on your belly, not totally sure what it is or does though xx

Thought that would help..
Appears the lighter skin you are the less likely you'll get one.
It's to do with pigments etc

I haven't got one and I am already half way through my pregnancy. My mum got one with all of us but I think I might be lucky as my skin is stupidly light, I practically glow in the dark lol x

 

[sophiestars]

My skin is fairly dark so I've sort of expected it but still no sign of it lol xxx

Mine started since about 11 weeks and is getting darker.

I had one with Ella and it didn't actually completely fade until she was about 6 months old!!

If this is the case I won't get one, I'm virtually transparent! Xx

I only get a tiny pale one in last few weeks but it can tske a few mths to go after birth for me.
Im a pale person if that helps

I'm quite pale and haven't got one yet. Though, saying that, I'll probably wake up with the beginnings of one tomorrow lol
