Linea Nigra - when will it go away?

servilia

Hi ladies!
I think my title is pretty self-explanatory. When can I expect the dark line to go away? I'm almost 5 months pp now. Thanks!

Mine took 6 months.

I still have mine at 7 months pp. I do think it's getting a little lighter though.

I never got one, but I would say up to the 9month mark, takes 9months of baking, so I would assume to give it at least 9months for your hormones to adjust back. I would much rather have a temporary line on my tummy than the stretch marks I got left with when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was lucky this time around not to get any new marks, but my old ones (3yrs old) are very much still there and make me super self conscious=/

Got it with my first child and if I can remember correctly (she's 4.5) it was gone by the 7 or 8 month mark. Interestingly enough I've had 2 more children since and haven't gotten it again. I've also heard the darker your skin tone the more prone you are to getting it, and the longer it take for it to go away.

I've been wondering the same thing! I'll be 8 months PP next week and I still have mine. It's lighter, but it's still there.
