Actually it's been proven that heartburn means hair. However, eating spicy food doesn't mean hair. It's if you just naturally get a lot of really bad heartburn without the help of spicy food, obviously if you eat it you'll get heartburn especially being pregnant lol

With my first girl I hated spicy food and she came out with long dark hair. My second girl all's I ever wanted was spicy everything all the time and she came out just as hairy as her sister. It's a myth like how you carry so on and so fourth

I've never heard of that lol. I do know that there is a link in a hormone produced by heartburn and hair growth, so the theory is that lots of heartburn means a full head of hair.

My mom had severe heartburn the entire pregnancy, and all us kids were bald as a rock. XD It's just another fun myth, mostly. :)
