This is a dark, vertical line, up to a centimetre wide that appears down the middle of your stomach, often crossing the navel. It tends to appear around the second trimester. It is caused by pigmentation in the skin where your abdominal muscles stretch and slightly separate, to accommodate your baby as it grows.
This line of pigmentation will fade within a few weeks of delivery, although you may need to give it a gentle rub to remove any dry skin. You will notice that other areas with pigmentation - such as your nipples, moles and freckles - may darken too, but this will also fade with time.
Pressing down too hard on stomach, and stress.

I was told during my pregnancy that its because of the way the stomach is shaped. When laying on your left it doesn't stretch or put much pressure on your body. Same thing when you eat too much just lay on your left side.
It is where the baby is stationed ( as far as coming down).
Lie down for a whilei have little pain in my stomach middle of the overlution did iam pregnant or nit
The normal signs of pregnancy are 1) late period 2) positive pregnancy test. Look to those first; abdominal tenderness is not a sign of pregnancy.
Can cause down syndrome
Yes I can :-) Have a look at related link down below. On the pregnancy and stomack growing link, you will need to register, but this is free.
A pregnancy with Down Syndrome would be the same as any other pregnancy. But, there's a chance that if the mother finds out that her child has Down Syndrome by having some testing done, she might become depressed.
