True or False.....first baby

Is it true when u have a lot of heart burn ur baby will be born with a full head or hair? What about hiccups?  Does that go the same for them...just curious.  We r having a girl and I haven't had heart burn at all but occassional hiccups yes.

It's an old wives tale, and absolutely absurd. Heartburn, indigestion, hiccups, etc. All due to your digestive system having to accommodate extra mass pushing on your organs. Intestines, stomach, liver, bladder and lungs all have to make room. They get overworked so you will notice all these side effects more frequently.

It is just an old wives tale. Stomach acid does not come in contact with the baby. But I do have to say, with my first I had no heart burn and she was bald for the first year. I did have heart burn with my second and she came out with a full head of hair. Coincidence? Maybe.. .

Not sure if it's true of not. My mother had our girls and never had heart burn. All of us came out bald as can be but when we all have a beautiful head of thick and soft hair now. Always have. So im not sure how accurate that is

I had horrible heartburn with both of my babies and both had tons of long hair. This pregnancy I've had heartburn since I was 4 weeks that is what actually triggered me to take a test. It's always been true for me. Good luck

I'm on baby number 4 and have had heartburn everytime and 3 kids were all bald as bald can be and we are guessing this one will be too lol. So I'm with this is false!!! and plus I just finished nursing school and they teach you this rumor is false. You have a 50-50 chance your baby will have hair.. There is nothing else to it..

I had extreme heartburn during my pregnancy and my baby girl had a full head of hair! I was shocked by how much she had.

According to a research study released back in 2007 or 2008 heartburn signals that whatever produces hair for the baby is present. You can google the article. It's not 100% just more likely.
