| No not all women get it. I know of alot of women who never had one. I did read that it's more common in darker skinned women. *shrug*
There's that crazy old wives tale too. Having one indicates that you're having a boy. Not having one means it's a girl. LOL the amount of times that's been wrong. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | mine is there but not very dark. DH said the other night do u know have a line running up to your bellybutton? so i guess its noticeable. ( yes dear was the reply- lol)
i think everyone does have it but it can be very light and barely noticeable. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I keep thinking I'm getting one, then realise it's just a mark left from the seam of my trousers!! 
So no sign of one for me either!
(And apparently, I'm having a girl too!) |
