heartburn and hair

I was reading some articles and there actually might be some correlation between the amount of hair your baby has and the severity of heartburn you experience throughout your pregnancy. I assumed it was an old wives tale. Anyways  can anyone back this up with their experiences? If this is true my baby will be as bald as a bowling ball lol.

Nah i dont think its true,  this is my third and all three unbearable heartburn.  My first swear she had enough hair for pig tails my second barely any.  I've also ask few of my close friends with bald babies and they experience heartburn as well but baby bald.

I had zero heartburn with #1 and he had lots of hair at birth. Have a friend who had terrible heartburn through both her pregnancies and neither one of her kids grew any hair until they were two years old (her poor daughter!)

It's a myth. My mom had bad heartburn with me and I came out bald.
