heartburn + hair

Is it true that babies with a lot of hair give their mommies heartburn ? If the mommy doesn't get heartburn does that mean that the baby will have no hair ?

I never really believed it but with our daughter I barely had any heartburn and she was almost bald but right now with our son I would get really bad heartburn so bad I would throw up sometimes and we went for an ultrasound a few days ago and they said he has a full head of hair. So idk maybe just coincidence.

I think it's a wives tale too, but who knows! my friend had bad heartburn and had a boy with a head full of hair. I had none, and my daughter was practically bald :)

I have heard some people say its true and others say its not...I don't really know if its true of not but I didn't have any heartburn with my first and he was basically born bald lol and so far I have a little bit with this baby so we will see in about 7more weeks if she will be bald too.

I was thinking that it was a wives tale also, but some friends that I know told me otherwise. Bump

I think that is an old wives tale. I don't think it is true. I have two boys and during their pregnancy I had heartburn really bad and they were both bald when they were born.
