Hi ladies,

What are you're thoughts on having heartburn meaning baby will have a full head of hair?

I personally always thought it was a myth but now I'm wondering if there's truth in it!

I had severe heartburn with DD right from bfp and she had loads of hair. Not so bad with DS but again born with a full head of hair. This time round I have none what so ever! Is it possible I'm having a baldy? Grin

My sister in law had no heartburn with her DD and she was as bald as they come! Poor wee girl has only just got enough to cover her head and she'll be two next month! Sil has just had DS and he's got an amazing amount in comparison to what his sister has haha! She had heartburn with him though so now it's making me think Hmm

Sorry for the ramblings lol I know it makes no difference whether baby has hair or not but it's late at night and you all know how stupid things keep you awake Grin

Horrendous heartburn that would keep me awake at night and DD had nothing more than a thin spread of fluff. My friend didn't have heartburn and her DD had a full head of hair

Of course it is but as soon as DS was born the first thing the midwife said was "Heartburn?" And DH was Confused.

Terrible heartburn from the beginning with DS1, and no full head of hair. Same thing again this time.. (39w)

i had heartburn soooo badly with ds1, he did not have a haircut until he was passed his third birthday.

dd had so much hair (and jaundice) she looked like an orangutan, not a morsel of gaviscon passed my lips!

ds2 more hair than ds1, but it mostly just grew up and out like a halo.

I was pregnant at the same time as my best friend. I didn't have heartburn and she had it badly.

I had a hairy baby, hers was completely bald.

All mine have been born with a good head of hair, I never had heartburn.

Old wives tail. No heartburn at all with DS1 and he was born with a full head of hair and no heartburn in this pregnancy and at private scan at 29 weeks I was told my baby is already donning an 'unusually high amount of hair'.
