Don't bend over or the umbilical cord with get in a knot and the baby wont get oxygen. An elderly lady told me that while i was working at a shoe store and had her husband follow me around while she was shopping to make sure i was bending over. Crazy

There are also studies that show that the heartburn could very well just be caused by the relaxation of the sphincter, thus causing the acid to leak through. Some women experience heartburn and the baby is born with very little to no hair and vice versa, some women don't have heartburn but the baby comes out with hair.

The heartburn and hair correlation has some basis in scientific fact. Increaaed Estrogen levels, which have been linked to hair growth in fetuses, have also been linked to heartburn in expecting mothers. Is it a foolproof way of telling if the baby will have a full head of hair? No. It is slightly more than a wives tail
Though.
