I could probably have gone without but I didn't like feeling my food creeping its way back up my esophagus when I laid down - ugh! </p> <p>DD was born with a FULL head of hair! </p> [attach=1312/12/mbn96c.600x450.IMG_2352.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair/page/2#post-332155 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:40:28 +0000 cvbee 332155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>had no heartburn<br /> had a full head of strawberry-blond hair, exact same colour as Mommy's hair :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair/page/2#post-332141 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:33:15 +0000 Mrsbells 332141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also think race places a roll in this, because some races are more likely to have hair as babies than others. Generally speaking most black or asian babies I've seen hhave some hair or a lot of hair whilst most white babies I've seen have less hair or are bald. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair/page/2#post-332127 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:28:42 +0000 yoursilverlining 332127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for me it was true. Terrible, terrible heartburn (I should have bought stock in Tums!!!) and LO had a full head of thick, long (for a newborn) hair. She had so much hair that during the 30-week ultrasounds, you could see her hair! ha ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair/page/2#post-332115 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:23:37 +0000 Penny Lane 332115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ridiculous heartburn from 20 ish weeks, it got so bad n the 3rd trimester that tums didn't even help. He had a lot of hair, which I was very happy about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair/page/2#post-332056 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:06:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 332056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MusicaV: Same here!

I took Tums at night but I could have lived without them, depending on what I ate. </p> <p>My daughter has a ton of hair! So no worries, no heartburn doesn't necessarily equal no hair ;) </p> [attach=1296/12/mbn60u.600x450.539520_10151271974085477_663090359_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331796 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:23:34 +0000 MusicaV 331796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had mild heartburn probably 4 times, but DS came out with a full head of hair. When I was pushing, DH and the dr. said he had lots of hair. I honestly thought they were joking until I saw him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331650 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 12:13:09 +0000 purrpletulips 331650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had horrible heartburn with both pregnancies (had to take medication). Both kiddos were born with just a "dusting" of hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331645 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 12:11:35 +0000 erwoo 331645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have heartburn with my first and he had okay hair. He did lose it all around 4 months so was almost completely bald at one point. Gained about 30 lbs with him.</p> <p>I had heartburn with my second and he had a lot of hair. He never lost it all like with my first but he had a good amount. Not a lot like Mrs. Wagon's kids (jealous!!!) but more than my first baby's. Gained about 20 lbs with him.</p> <p>I ate the same with both kids - probably more healthy with my first though b/c I had more time to make sure I ate better. I tried to stay away from stuff that gave me heartburn but I couldn't help it sometimes. Tums was a huge help for me and I didn't need anything stronger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331640 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 12:09:35 +0000 shopaholic 331640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea, but what funny old wives' tale huh?<br /> I've beem having some heartburn, but if family history (from DH's side) repeats itself, our kids will be bald for like the first year of their lives - and then bam! Tons of hair! I want to use bows and headbands too, so here's hoping for the both of us!</p> <p>p.s. @Mrs. Jump Rope - aww....soooo precious!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331631 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 12:06:07 +0000 Mrsbells 331631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes i had terrible heartburn and my baby had lots of hair, thick and full,like a grown up child rather than a baby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331620 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:58:13 +0000 photojane 331620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: I definitely think baldy babies are precious. I just want to be able to use all the hairbows I'm collecting. :) hubs was a baldy baby and so cute, and I had a bunch of hair... so we'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331610 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:47:54 +0000 pastemoo 331610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>in short... no he had a little hair and most of it fell out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331594 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:40:01 +0000 jedeve 331594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have insanely bad heartburn. My doctor said he's only seen a few cases as bad as mine! But baby is still cookin so no word on the hair yet. But it's not just an old wives tail, there is some truth to it:http://www.fitpregnancy.com/pregnancy/health/old-wives-vs-science though its not a 100% correlation. I think bald babies are so cute though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331552 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:11:20 +0000 KT326 331552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had moderate heartburn. It wasn't every day though. DS came out with a good amount of hair. He did end up losing quite a bit on top though around three months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331537 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:04:16 +0000 Honeybee 331537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a ton of heartburn with both pregnancies, starting in the first trimester. Both of my kids had some hair at birth, but quickly became bald. DD was bald until she was almost 2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331534 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:02:30 +0000 Sammyfab 331534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No heartburn at all and my LO was born with a full head of hair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331522 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:56:48 +0000 skipra 331522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really any typical heartburn but I developed a weird taste in my mouth late in the third trimester which I guess could have been a form or heartburn/reflux. He had almost a full head of hair at birth but it's really fine, thin, and blond. As he was coming out the midwife annouced that he was a baldy but she just couldn't see his hair it was so light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331511 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:51:26 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 331511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Moderate heartburn - full head of hair even at 25 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331509 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:48:01 +0000 mrsjyw 331509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had a ton of heartburn.

Now I have it all the time. So maybe you'll get it (sorry) and your daughter might have hair (yay). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-heartburn-mean-a-head-full-of-hair#post-331504 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:45:36 +0000 photojane 331504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonLong: hm...
