Q: Did You Experience This When You Were Preg?

My throat jumps, is that the babies heartbeat? Also, I have a faint straight line starting from my chest down to my bellbutton, is that normal? This is my first pregnancy, so forgive me if I sound corny? Laughing

Hmm I don't remember my throat jumping but remember that all your organs are being moved around, well upwards at least. So maybe it has to do with that??? The line yes, that is called lina negra and it's completely normal it's caused by increasing hormones some women get it and some don't. Don't worry with my first I was a complete worry wart it's hard not to be when you don't know what to expect. Good luck hun!!!

how far along are you, most women don't get that line until they are 7 mon or more, if at all, and sometimes you have it and don't notice it until after you have the baby
