    Now, my sister had what you described, so I'm gonna throw this out there...
    Could you be pregnant?

    If the OP is talking about more of a crease-line...I don't think it's the pregnancy sign people are talking about.

    yes a crease! bite your tongues with the pregnant part (i've got 3 little girls already) and hubby snipped! its like a crease right up and down the middle. i think it could be the start of something great but never saw it before. i'm getting close to goal (20 Lbs) so i thought maybe this was muscle or maybe the end of the struggle at least! you know a little lite at the end of the tunnel. i don't know what my belly looks like not covered in fat, well its still covered in a bit of fat but i'm starting to see a crease.????

    I have never seen the line down the middle but I get lines on the side..............so I say ya, it's probably muscle starting to show.

    I've started to get that line, too, as I've started to lose weight :).
    I don't know for sure, but there's a possibility that it is due to losing fat in the stomach region, thus causing the abs to become more visible.
