'With Rihanna not only refusing to hide hers but putting it into the forefront, the line has been recast as something powerful and foundational, a vital marking of motherhood,' shares one writer on embracing a proud pregnancy.
On the priority list of pregnancy-specific physical indignities, the newly darkened coffee-colored line emerging down my stomach seemed well placed at the bottom. It wasn’t hurting me or the baby, it was perfectly normal, and it would go away after I gave birth, my friends, doctor, and the internet assured me.
To start, my linea nigra expertly aligned with the rectangular cluster of stomach hair I’ve been at war with since puberty. Body hair has always been a preoccupation of mine, one that I can directly trace back to an insult lobbed at me by a boy on the eighth-grade bus.
Since then, I’ve shaved, plucked, waxed, lasered, threaded, and bleached. I’ve obsessed about my attractiveness, measuring it by the hair that always came back, thicker and stronger. But I grew up. Big eyebrows came back into fashion. I came to recognize that alongside robust body hair came a great head of hair.
