Lol if heartburn equalls more hair then I am pregnant with a werewolf! But seriously, hope the heartburn eases up for you soon :)

I'm on number 4 and i've had bad heartburn with each one and all 3 of my babies were bald! my two living children didn't have hair till they were one atleast. Now I will say I had more heartburn with my sons then my daughters.

I had no heartburn at all with my first baby n she was born with a head full of hair

Ive heard this for years from my mother in law (who by the way also said the remedy was to out coffee grounds under your tongue). But all of my kids have had hair, ive had heartburn which lessens after baby drops, and I've always attributed it to the stage of pregnancy. The same stage when baby is all jammed up in your stomach is typically when all the lanugo is present and when your baby would grow head hair. But who knows?!

I read an article a few years ago and scientists did find a link between pregnant mothers having heartburn and babies being born with hair. http://m.voices.yahoo.com/pregnant-mothers-heartburn-expect-babies-451594.html

Where I am from there seems to be a conspiracy. Heartburn or not boys are born with more hair than girls lol.

Well for me it started between months 3 and 4. When I hit the second trimester it subsided only to pick up again around month 6 and get worse from there

How soon did constant heartburn start plaguing you? Mine has for a few weeks and Im only 17w.

I believe in the mid wives tale. My first child it seemed like I was plagued with indigestion and heartburn. At birth a head full of hair. My second pregnancy was smooth sailing. I had very little, if at all, heartburn and my baby had peach fuss on top.

It's an old wives tale, but with my first I had no heart burn and she was bald for the first year. With my second, I had heartburn and she came out with a full head of hair.
