Ok is this normal???? :-/?

Ok so I have just recently found out I'm pregnant (4 weeks)... (yay!) and about ten minutes ago I noticed this dark, kind of sooty looking line that starts just below my breasts and runs all the way down to my pubic line. WTF? Is this normal for a pregnant woman? It's not very dark and is really thin but I swear i literally didn't have it yesterday ( that I noticed anyway... Studying my tummy ATM so I guess that's how I spotted it now!)

    the dark line you are refering to is linea nigra it is that dark vertical line that often appears between the belly button and the pubic area, but you shouldnt be getting it this early in the pregnancy. It usually appears during the fourth or fifth month of pregnancy

    I believe its a vein. When your pregnant your body works harder to produce enough oxygen for you and your baby. I know I have some new veins I never noticed or seen before. They have a way of appearing. This web site should help you-

    Congrats on the pregnancy!

    You are to early to have the dark line. The dark line goes from the belly button, down. It is caused by estrogen.
