Hair/heartburn

So I've read that there does seem to be some truth to the idea that lots of heartburn during pregnancy means baby will have a lot of hair. I had bad heartburn and my LO was born with a ton of hair. What was everyone else's baby hair/heartburn experience? Here's a pic of my LOs crazy hair, feel free to share yours. :)

  • I had horrible heartburn. It started around 12 weeks. Ds wasn't born with much hair. I had heartburn with dd2 and she had a ton of hair. I thought ds would need a hair cut when he came out, but he has about as much hair as his daddy! ;)
  • No heartburn until the last 2 weeks and Jae was born with A TON of hair! Had bangs and hair past collar of shirt.
    Wow, now that's a ton of hair!

    Bad heartburn with DD1, very little hair...so so heartburn with DD2, no hair!
    No heartburn with DS and lots of hair.

  • Lots of heartburn. Minimal hair.
  • edited August 2013
    I had no heartburn, none...and my LO had and still has very little hair.

    Also, this is the day we brought him home (looking at this pic just reminds me of how swollen his little face was) and his hair is still the same.
  • A study at Johns Hopkins University -yay my alma mater- showed that the heartburn and hair link to be surprisingly true.

    Also, I had tons of heartburn and my daughter was born with a full head of hair.

    My heartburn was the reason i knew i was pregnant at 3 weeks. I ended up on meds and a modified diet. A has a full head of hair as seen in my siggy. When i was pushing before we went to c section all the nurses were talking about all the hair they could feel.

  • Had tons of heartburn with DD1 due to a fibroid. She came out with some hair but not a lot. With DD2, I didn't have heartburn until week 31 and it was mild at worst and not frequent. She came out with so much hair it's the first thing people say when they see her.
