Yes, that's normal and it will get darker during your pregnancy.  I just had my twins in May, and I'm sorry to say, although its lighter, I still have the line.  They tell me that the line was always there, its just more noticable during pregnancy. It's called the Linea Nigra -caused by pregnancy hormones.  Good luck with your pregnancy!

It's a linea negra, just a hormonal change that changes the pigmentation in your skin there, just like skin tags and blotches while pregnant, it's normal, although you did get it pretty early!
