Does the line on your stomach always darken?

Does your belly button always poke out?

My cousin always go for the let me see your belly button to check if people are pregnant. It ticks me off, though she never did it to me. I don't think at 4wks things things change that quick.

Also does the line on your stomach always darken.

I personally think a lot of these things are myths.

    I honestly can't tell you about the line I don't know anything about it. As for the belly button id say no. I'm on 4th baby and mine never pops out.

    I just wanted to know. All my life some of the women in my family told me those two were the telltale signs of pregnancy. Especially my cousin, who is younger than me, she is stuck on the bellybutton thing. She'll ask to see the belly button abd if its not sticking out or pretruding you're not pregnany. I'm pretty sure if it happened it wouldn't stick out this early.

    I know everyone is different. A couple women in my family went from an innie to an outtie. The ones that like to show their bumps. The line was my biggest question. I'm not really dark skinned I'm close to a mid-medium, lol.

    Your linea nigrea is the dark line that appears on your belly during pregnancy, it happens to about 75% of women, but not all. I'm EXTREMELY pale skinned, and i still got one, but it was gone within a few months of giving birth. Second time around, I'm 27 weeks and I don't have mine yet.

    My belly button never popped out, it just completely flattened with my first, looks like its going the same route with this pregnancy as well.

    I had a line with my daughter later in my pregnancy. As of now (23 weeks) I don't have the line. My bellybutton is popped out a little. It doesn't look like an outie though.

    I had a line with #1. Not yet with #2.
    I don't have a "belly button" so I can't answer that one (surgery when I was 7, in case u are sayin "what?!?!" Lol)
