Heartburn During Pregnancy & Baby's Hair

Okay....you've probably heard the "tale" that if you have lots of heartburn during pregnancy, then your baby will have a lot of hair. I had heartburn with Lacey's pregnancy & she had lots of hair. I had even more heartburn (and for a longer time.........the entire pregnancy) with Leah's pregnancy and she had more hair. So, I've been saying that whether it's a tale or not, it's a fact for me. ;-)

I was reading Parenting magazine today and found a tidbit. Researchers at Johns Hopkins Univ. set out to disprove this......but they were surprised by evidence supporting it. 82 percent of women with moderate to severe heartburn delivered hairy babies. Most women with little or no heartburn ended up with baldies.
