Answer -
Once you become pregnant, the "linea negra" forms. It is a dark line from your belly button to your pubic area. Once it appears, it will always be there, although it can fade a bit after you deliver your baby.The line that develops when you become pregnant can be light brown, dark brown, black, very faint, etc. It is not made up of hair but definitely a discoloration the skin. It does look like a thin pencil line. If you have any doubts, just show it to your obstetrician.
Answer -
Usually we only see the "linea negra" in women who have had babies or are pregnant. However, the presence of a linea negra is proof of pregnancy. If you have any doubts, take a pregnancy test.
AnswerThe linea negra is not a diagnosis of pregnancy. It can exist in the absence of pregnancy. If you believe that there is a line that is like the linea alba, and it worries you, have a dermatologist take a look at it. It is nothing to be concerned about. It does not mean that you are pregnant. If the pregnancy tests have been negative, you are not pregnant.
