It's true, the same hormone that allows hair growth is the same hormone that relaxes the esophagus and causes acid relux/heartburn!! It starts with an O but I don't remember the name lol but you can always Google it!!

Not for sure, but I had heartburn with my daughter and she came out with a head full of beautiful blonde hair! 23 weeks pregnant and my heartburn started so much sooner this time around. Can't even have an OZ of water without popping a tum afterwords.  So we shall see!

Believe it or not, there's a scientific link between the two. They're still trying to find out why. I haven't had any heartburn.

I had heartburn bad enough to make me throw up. My daughter was COVERED in hair, head to toe. Apparently there's studies that do link it, but it's not 100%.
