Old wives tale= heartburn

ashhsa · January 2016

I've had, in the last few days particularly- terrible heartburn. So I was wondering for the mamas that have had their bubs, if they were born with a head full of hair did you have heartburn? And if they were baldies when born did you miss out on the heart burn?

As id be shocked if my little one has hair as no bubs in my family have before- so I feel like I'm about to bust this myth wide open.

My son was bald and I had heartburn at the end of my pregnancy, but I think that was due more to him being so big and pushing on my stomach at the end. I had heart burn my whole pregnancy with my daughter and she had thick, dark hair at birth. The wives tale was true for me!

I read recently that according to a study done, I believe at John Hopkins, that there is an actual correlation between heart burn and hair. Something about the hormones that cause the esophagus to relax are the same that help to produce hair on the baby. I've had pretty bad heart burn in both the first and third trimesters and the ultra sound tech told me that the baby has a ton of hair.

This is my son on the day he was born...
Heartburn was real- I was always burping things up.
Didn't matter what it was, it ALWAYS came back up... From like 25wks until the day he was born..
I don't think I could imagine him bald lol

We were told DD had a TON of hair in ultrasound, and I ended up with terrible heartburn. Come to find out she was basically bald on her head for her first year, but the rest of her has always been covered in fuzz! She's still my little fuzzy peach now even at almost 2 years old. Even got her momma's unibrow, poor thing.

Not sure yet, but I've had terrible heartburn from about 30 weeks on. At my last u/s, the tech said he has a head of hair on him...hopefully will find out soon!

My heartburn (up all night/sleeping sitting up bad) always starts around week 18 and all of my babies have been bald as cucumbers.

I never had heartburn with my first and she came out with a full head of hair.

I had terrible heartburn with both my boys and they each had a head full of hair, so long I had to cut it when I got home.

ChrissyD1203 · January 2016

I have a ton of heartburn. At every ultrasound, the tech always makes a comment about how thick and how much hair baby has.

With DS I just had bad acid reflux in my throat. Tums always took it away and my son was born with a full head of hair. This time I've had bad acid reflux again with on and off heartburn since 30 weeks. I'm hoping this one is born with a full head of hair cause the acid reflux has been bad!

With DD1, no issues with heartburn and she had a full head of hair, along with some extra "werewolf fuzz" that kinda fell off over the first 6 months. No heartburn this time around either, so we'll see if I get another lovely-locked lady :-)

@carlyhammond what a lot of locks!!! Amazing!!! He is beautiful.

I had TERRIBLE heartburn with my first and he hardly had in hair. Very thin for the first year. The heartburn is even worse this time, which I didn't think was possible. I'll be curious to see if this babe has more hair, but I doubt it since the first didn't.

If there's any truth to this tale...

...I'll be buying baby shampoo in bulk.

I joked when I was pregnant with my son that I was actually going to give birth to a baby gorilla. He had some hair, but not a lot.
This baby may resemble Chewbacca... I never thought heartburn/acid reflux could be this bad!

CaraBoonie · January 2016

I've had heartburn, and the ultrasound tech said she saw hair BUT I also had occasional heartburn pre-pregnancy (nothing as painful or often as I've had during 3rd trimester, however). I was a bald baby, my husband had a full head of hair.

With both my sons I had terrible heartburn, it was actually how I guessed I was pregnant with my first. Both my boys were born with full heads of hair.

holocene · January 2016

I had zero heartburn and my baby has a full head of hair.

ashhsa · January 2016

@holocene Nawww!!! What a sweety! As a hairstylist I long to have a bub with hair- but I don't think it's going to happen!

I've had heartburn just about this entire pregnancy and it has been so bad nothing is really helping. At my last 2 growth ultrasounds the techs both said he has a head full of hair. At my elective 3D/4d ultrasound at week 29 she told me he had a head full of hair so we will see on Friday:). I know I was born with an eraser top lol but DH was as bald as bald can be.
