i never had heartburn and my daughter was born with a ton of black hair...then they shaved a streak on the one side to put in an IV when she was born needless to say with that dark of hair she was one pretty stylin chick!! (people would ask if it rubbed off when she was sleeping? and it was on  the top side of her head?!)  and when that started growing in the rest started thinning out... but just on the sides lol so regardless of how much hair they are born with, you cant control what happens following! lol she reminded me of those old men with the awesome comb over! but like i said its out of your control... and they are oh so cute regardless of hair!!

LOL a bald baby's nothing to be concerned about anyway. They'll get their hair pretty quick. I was bald as anything, and when my hair did come in it was pale and blonde for the first few years. My brother was born with a full head of thick black hair -- and he went totally bald somewhere about 3-4 months. It all grew back in.

During pregnancy estrogen and progesterone levels need to be high to maintain the pregnancy. These two female hormones are produced by the ovaries until the placenta takes over. These hormones relax smooth muscles of the uterus and are necessary to allow the uterus to stretch to accommodate the developing pregnancy.
Unfortunately this muscle relaxation is not confined to the uterus

As said, that's an old wives tale and means nothing. I had awful acid reflux and my daughter was bald for the longest time. Even at 14 months she still doesn't have tons of hair.

That's an old wives tale.

The only way to know for sure if your baby is bald or not is the day they're born and you see them.

I had crazy heartburn when I was pregnant 6 years ago, and my son had hardly any hair
