*Linea nigra* (Latin
for "black line") is a dark vertical line that appears on the abdomen during about three quarters of all pregnancies
The brownish streak is usually about a centimeter in width. The line runs vertically along the midline of the abdomen
from the pubis
to the umbilicus
, but can also run from the pubis to the top of the abdomen.
Linea nigra is due to increasedmelanocyte-stimulating hormone
made by the placenta
, which also causes melasma
and darkened nipples
. Fair-skinned women show this phenomenon less often than women with darker pigmentation...
