What the fudge is this?! *pic added*

[Beth88]

I was just getting dressed (yes im very lazy) and i looked down and i have a line going from by my pubic bone to my belly button what on earth is this?! its like a dark bit of skin kinda.. very thin line but oh my god it looks weird!

 

[Misslarue]

Its called the linea nigra and it's caused by the body having more melanin in its system than normal.
Wow thats really early, you normaly don't get it until the second tri

 

[Beth88]

oh i see its very noticeable to me.. ill try and get a pic of it later.. gosh.. its as though its sprung from nowhere! ha.

Whoa, my OH was winding me up in the bath the other day and said he could see a faint one, i cudnt see over my boobis to check but when i got out it wasnt there !!! I think he was just playing me up cus i said it looks like a seam !!

[maybebaby]

I've still got mine left over from last time. I couldn't remember when I got it but I've just checked my old bump pics & it appeared (faintly) between the 16 week & 19 week ones. So you've got yours very early!
