It it true that if you get the nigra line ( brown line on your belly ) your less unlikely to get stretch marks?.x

I have a linia nigra and stretch marks but didnt get them till late and they arent bad. Just when you get itchy dont scratch and ive found my main reason for itchiness is because of the band on maternity clothes it rubs your tummy and makes it itchy

Yeah, I have the line and no marks yet. I'm almost 32 weeks but I heard stretch marks usually start showing up later. My sisters all started getting them around 35 weeks +.

I've got a dark line and just a couple little tiny ones above where my belly piercing is. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. But they're hereditary. You can reduce your chances by rubbing lots if cocoa butter or coconut oil works wonders
