it's been a week and a half since i've given birth and my linea nigra is still there. it was never very dark but def there. i was just wondering how long it takes for it to go away.

I still have mine also and its been 8 weeks. A friend of mine told me that she scrubed hers off. I didn't believe her but last night i got in the shower with a lufa (sp) and sure enought it started to come off. Then i started feeling it after i got out of the shower and it's almost like a scab, or dry skin...I'm going to try to get the rest of it 2night.

let me know if it works for any of you ladies.

S- it's true. You can even actually scrub some of it off during pregnancy as well... during the end. I'm 39 weeks and it has gotten so dark. It started getting dry and it comes off when I scratch it. So, the more you wash that area after giving birth, the faster it should come off. Hagit, you aren't from Israel, are you?

My son is almost six months and I still have the line. It has however lightened up since delivery, but it looks like I have a dark hairline or something, I guess I wont be wearing any bikinis soon!
