How long does it take for the line on your stomach to fade after childbirth?

Question

I just gave birth 3 weeks ago and I have the linea nigra line on my stomach from my belly button down.

I was just wondering how long it takes for it to fade?

It's not extremely dark, but it is noticeable.

Answer 1

My son is 5 months and I still have it. It's not as dark as it was though.

Answer 2

I'm white and I got the line around 5-6 months pregnant. I am 3 months postpartum and still have it although it seems to be fading

Answer 3

I am fair skinned & got it, it's completely gone now, my son is 6months old, i think it went away when my son was around 2months or something

Answer 4

I had my baby 5 months ago and still have mine. Its fadding but still pretty much there. I'm fair skinned also and tan easily. Never heard the dark skinned thing.  

Answer 5

i had my son in may... and i still have mine. it's faded quite a bit, but still there

Answer 6

3 months after birth and mine is still there

Answer 7

A friend of mine has a 5 month old and she still has it.  My daughter was born 7weeks ago and i still have it.

Good question, hopefully someone will know the answer, lol.  I have a 6 year old but cant remember.

Answer 8

It may never go away.  Is it important for you to get rid of it?  There's nothing wrong with a line on your belly.  I wear mine with pride.

Answer 9

im 3 months post partum and still have mine

Answer 10

My son is 4 days shy of turning 4 months old. Mine was very dark  during and immediately following my pregnancy. However, it has since disappeared. I would say it's been gone now for about a month or two.
