sneaking from 3rd tri** any truth to this old wives tale?

kimthgrt · August 2009

lots of heartburn=lots of hair?? Im praying for huge red curls and hoping my horrible heartburn means my wish will come true.

babynurse08 · August 2009

Sorry...I had BAD heartburn...vomiting every night since 28weeks....DS was a baldy at birth!

Lesley0228 · August 2009

I had horrendous heart burn and DD had some, but not a ton of hair. Its all falling out now.

soon2Bclc · August 2009

totally true for me. I popped Tums like they were candy throughout my entire 3rd trimester, she had long black hair, not too much, but super cute! It's since faded to a dark brown but hasn't really thinnned out too much. Good luck!

ZaraLou · August 2009

Well I'm not sure cause I didn't have a lot of heartburn and my dd didn't have a lot of hair.. but I remember when I was in the hospital my nurse was telling me that she swears that is true!! She said she always asks her patients if they had bad heartburn and if they do they always have lo's with lots of hair.. haha..so maybe!

jdavis0719 · August 2009

I had horrible heartburn and check out LO's hair!!! But I have had friends who had it and had a bald baby so who knows...

DTNZ4Ever · August 2009

Tums were my best friend during pregnancy and DS was and still is bald.

FirefightersBride · August 2009

i had reflux so bad I was on 2 diff. prescrips to find something that worked. DS had hair, but not like I thought he would! He had enough to cover his head, but not a huge amt.

srw33 · August 2009

I had terrible heartburn and DS was born with a full head of hair (and he hasn't lost a bit of it!). Usually the first comment from everyone that meets him is on the hair.

smellycat15 · August 2009

I had wicked bad heartburn in 3rd tri and DD has hair. Not as much as some on this board but enough. I didn't have any when I was born so I was happy she has at least some.

soon-to-be-MrsT · August 2009

No heartburn=LO with tons of hair for me

DorothyShaw · August 2009

If this is true, I'm birthing a Yeti.

TrinaKay · August 2009

No heartburn. and DD had lots of hair and has even more now!

weddedwife · August 2009

Well, I had virtually no heartburn and LO had tons of hair at birth.

sasa625 · August 2009

I had no heartburn, but DD had a ton of hair (and still does)

MattysGirl81 · August 2009

I had no HB and DS has tons of hair!

inbetween · August 2009

I was popping tums in labor and delivery. See my sig...she hasn't lost any of it!!

soon-to-be-MrsT:
No heartburn=LO with tons of hair for me

This.

txbabs111 · August 2009

Not for me. I had horrible heartburn and DD had a normal amount of hair.

Here she is:

angel555 · August 2009

LOL--haven't heard that one. And, no, not true for me. (See siggy pic)

grinsandgiggles · August 2009

Did for me. It's actually one of the only wives tales to be proven mostly true.

kimthgrt · August 2009

lots of very helpful advice, I think the consensus makes the tale a little true....I must say, like one of the PP's said above me, If it is true I too am birthing a Yeti...hopefully with red hair, LOL

I guess its as true as the "carrying high=girl, carrying low-boy"...not true for me, im carrying my LO in my knees and so far shes a girl...lol

Corinneallyson · August 2009

Savi had a bunch of hair when she was born...no heartburn here. Sorry.

GypsyEsq · August 2009

I had little to no heartburn and DD has tons of hair and has since birth.

jenerally · August 2009

it was true for me!

jolis_petits_bijoux · August 2009

Not for me! Terrible heartburn, and my DS was a baldy. He still has very little hair!

cfsinger · August 2009

haha this was actually true for me!!! I had horrible morning sickness the entire pregnancy and if I wasn't being sick I had horrible heartburn, and my DD hair has been exactly like it is in my siggy since she was born lol well a little shorter, but all of it was still there

Love2Teach · August 2009

No heartburn...a few instances of reflux though. DS was born with a full head of red hair that has stayed put!

WestieMama · August 2009

Yes!! See What to Expect book, page 154. And it was true for me!

jamie.renee · September 2009

I had bad heartburn with all three of my kids. Two of them came out with massive amounts of hair and the other one just had a tiny more than peach fuzz.

superisa00 · September 2009

I had ridonkulous heart burn and DS had tons of hair, but I think its a coincidence.
