During pregnancy, many women notice the appearance of a dark, longitudinal line on their belly, known as the linea nigra. This natural occurrence is often considered a trademark of pregnancy.
Contrary to common belief, the presence or absence of the linea nigra has no connection to the s3x of the baby. The s3x of the baby is determined solely by the type of sperm that fertilizes the egg, which occurs during conception.
Most women would go as far as tagging the shape of the linear nigra as a sign that a particular 3ex is expected; but this is a lie.
The linea nigra develops due to hormonal changes that stimulate increased pigmentation of the skin cells. This same hormonal influence can also lead to other pigmentation changes, such as the darkening of facial skin known as melasma, or the “mask of pregnancy.”

Importantly, the linea nigra does not pose any negative effects on pregnancy and typically fades away a few weeks after delivery.
The prominence of the linea nigra may vary, appearing darker or more noticeable on women with darker skin tones. Additionally, excessive sun exposure can intensify its coloration.
Remember to prioritize a healthy pregnancy by attending regular check-ups and following medical advice.
