What Could The White Area On Abdomen After Pregnancy Symbolize?
I have a white area below the belly button, not just a line but more of a long oval shape. I'm 36 weeks, noticed about two weeks ago after a warm shower, since the area was still white, while the rest of the belly was pinkish. Pressure does not change it, it feels a bit numb. This is my second pregnancy.

HI.
Most probably this patch of the skin got so much stretched that it has aquired this appearance which you described.
Nothing to worry .
You are nearing delivery.
Get this done and I hope this will revert back on its own.
Only if the situation remains same for about 1 and half months after delivery , then only should be thought about.
NOT KNOW- please.
