How long did it take for your "pregnancy" line to disappear on your stomach? Mine doesn't seem to be fading and it's been five weeks!
Mine took a very long time, like 5 or 6 months if not longer. I remember thinking that it would just never go away. Even when I lost all the weight and my body was pretty much back to normal the line was still there. However now my son is 18 months and I can't even remember when it went away but it is gone.
Hi M..
It took several months for my pregnancy line to disappear.
-------Sadly, it's taking MUCH longer for other pregnancy-related "side effects" to go away. Lol.
HTH!

Mine took about a year to go away...it seems like once I started breastfeeding my little guy less which was about when he was 1, it went away completely.
give it time........yes, it takes longer then 5 weeks.
It took mine 6-7 months. It is due to hormones so give it time.
It can easily take a year, so just give it time. But honestly, sometimes they don't go away completely. My youngest is almost ten, but I can still see my line. It's faint, but it's there. But I wear it as a badge of honor!
Hi M., I asked that question alot because my line was really dark. My baby is 8 months and my line is still here, but much, much lighter. My neighbors took a little over a year to vanish. So have hope, it will happen, just not very quickly.
Mine took several months...
Hi M.!-I don't have anything much different to say but here it goes...I have fair skin and my line didn't fully disapear for about 6 months with both my boys. It will fade more and more then finally you won't be able to see it. I have some friends that it was gone in 3 months and some a year. There isn't anything you can do to speed it up either, as far as i know. But don't worry, it will go away :)
Mine took almost 3 months but it eventually went away completely...I was a little worried myself at that time that it was there to stay :)
I didn't have it at all while I was pregnant - it showed up afterwards! It's faint, but still there after 12 weeks...
I didn't get one, odd but true. J.
I think it took me like 4 months!
I hate to say it but I can still see mine and my son's birthday is in a few weeks
Mine never got very dark (I'm very fair skinned), but it took a while. You'll notice that nothing is the same after having a baby (I know because I've had three), but they're so worth it that you'll learn to love your new body. Congratulations on your baby! :)
5 weeks?! Unfortunately that is going to take some time. Something like 6 months to a year if I remember correctly. You have to figure you had higher amounts of hormones in your system during your pregnancy whick created the line in the first place. So as your hormones return to normal levels, your line will fade as well.
Im about 4 1/2 months postpartum and I still have mine although it is quite a bit lighter.
It was about 6-7 months with my first child and with my third child, it was 10 months!!
My daughter will be a year on 05/14 and I still have mine. Slowly fading though....
my second child is 8 and a half and my line is still faintly visible, but no one would notice it but me. give it a few months.
Took mine close to a year with my first and second. If you scrub with a loofah, it helps. I didn't get a line with my third...wierd.
Hello M., I am also a first time mom to a daughter who is 19 months old and my pregnany line took a year to go completely away. It takes time but it will go away..

My daughter is 6-months and mine is still there! I am still nursing and the line is hormonal. (At least that's what I was told by Dr.)
It took close to a year for my first one to disappear! Ugh
I took mine at least 10 months to completely disappear with my second child. I thought it was strange that it took so long but oh well. I wouldn't worry about it. Some women don't get it at all.
I really do have the key to the nagging pain and sickness.
First, no sugar or fried food. Eat 10 times a day and
a hand full is enough. Always, no matter the time of day
eat what sounds good.
Have the father rub your lower back, upper back, stomach
and everything else as often as possible.
Your pain will disappear, your need for food will return and
over eating is worse than not eating. Take half your take
out food to go. Don't miss a meal time 7 - 11 - 4 & 8
with a snack like a food bar twice a day or a piece of fruit
or fruit and yogurt from Mc Donald's. You can turn this all
around. Try it... Purpleging
Hi M. - My daughter just turned one and I can still see my line! It's much faded, but still there. Hope yours goes more quickly!
Give it about a year, depending on how dark it is.
With all of my pregnancies, it took several months for that linea nigra to completely disappear.

I am a mother of three and each time it took 6 mo's or longer for the line to disappear. My last one took closer to a full year...it faded very slowly for me :( Its asmall price tp pay for the little bundle of joy!
Oh, it takes awhile. At least a few months. But it will totally disapear.
After my son was born, I think it took like six months...seemed like FOREVER!
-M
With my first, about 2-3 months but with my twins...about a year! My twins were 8lbs each so things seemed to stick with me a bit longer...that pregnancy was a doozy!! :)
Its amazing what skin can do!
Hi M.,
Mine started fading alot around 8-9 weeks. Now at 11 weeks, I still have a line but it is much less noticeable. I now have hope that it will completely fade. :)
Hi M..
I'm 9 months postpartum and it's still slightly there, but it has faded a lot. I've been told and I've read that it can take up to a year for it to fade and it actually never really goes back to the way it was initially. I'm going to be honest and say that I was mortified when the line was still there and I still looked about six months pregnant for the first four months.
Don't stress too much about it. It just takes some time, but you're looking at several months versus just a few weeks.
Hope that clears things up!
Congratulations and welcome to motherhood!

My daughter is going on 5 months & mine is still there. It has faded a little though
Mine took almost a year. Or maybe I just thought I could still see it. I admit to obsessing about it myself for several months. But my daughter is 2 1/2 and it's been gone for some time now. :)
Funny you ask that, I was noticing this morning that you can still see mine and my son is 3 yrs old. It's not dark, but still there. I believe it also depends on your skin coloring. My friend who is a true blond, had a very light line and it's gone now. So, it's normal and different for everyone. Don't worry. ;-)
Mine took about six months to fade away completely. Congrats on your new baby boy!
Oh, you'll have to be patient... mine took about 8-9 months :)
I didn't keep track of how long it took, but I assure you it will go away.
if your talking about stretch marks sorry to tell you but they won't go away.
