I didn't have the line with my first, but i do have it with this one. I'm on my 2nd child. My line starts at my sternum and down to my belly button. I'm sure it goes past my belly button but i can't see down there anymore. I'm 33wks and so much bigger then what I was with my first pregnancy.  But it's normal.

Linea nigra. Very common in pregnancy.  I've never had it in any pregnancy,  
so not everyone gets it, but it's very common.
