Does the vertical line on the small abdomen become darker in the early stages of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Actually, this line is what is known as the pregnancy line. It appears during the second to fourth month of pregnancy. Due to the influence of pregnancy hormones, this line can stretch from the perineum to the navel, and in some cases, it may even extend to the chest. Some lines are so faint that they are barely noticeable, while others are very dark and may even grow hair. All of these are normal. The growth of hair on the pregnancy line, as well as its quantity and the depth of its color, are determined by the pregnant woman's own hormones.
