happyhomemaker25 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Did your newborn have hair after you had chronic heartburn during pregnancy? I have had the worst heartburn with this pregnancy. I take Tums by the handfull and I think I drank a gallon of Apple Cider Vinegar in two weeks. Everything gives me heartburn. Water. Toast. Getting up in the morning. Going to bed at night. Whatever. :p I was joking with the u/s tech at my last visit. I told her if the wives' tale was true that I was going to have a werewolf! She laughed and said, "I was just getting ready to show you all this hair!" Then she pointed to this mass of stuff on my baby's head and typed in hair. I was talking with some other moms later and they had different stories. One mom was told her baby was going to have a lot of hair and her baby was bald, bald. Another mom was told her baby had no hair and she had a head full! .The bald baby mama had heartburn. The other mom had none. I had none with my first pregnancy and she was bald until she hit 2. So now I'm just curious if you had heartburn and did it accompany a hairy baby? Did they ever say anything about it at your u/s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosyne Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I have had terrible heartburn with both my pregnancies. The first resulted in a not very hairy baby, the second one we'll see in a month. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Heartburn w/all, all had a full head of hair But, I've since been informed that it was likely my gallbladder acting up that made my life uber miserable. Since that was removed a few wks ago, the heartburn is way, way less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Michelle* Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I had severe heartburn with all five kids. Two had full heads of hair, the other three had regular baby hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&Rs Mom Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I had two hairy babies, but only heartburn with one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I had one bald baby and three with hair. The one with the most hair, I had no heartburn at all. The bald one I had the worst heartburn. The other two I had heartburn with one and almot no heartburn with the other. So, for me, it's just an old wive's tale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhomemaker25 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Hmm.. I guess we'll have to see. I always joked that since my baby girl had absolutely no hair that of course my baby boy would come out with long shiny locks! :) By the way it isn't a big deal, I'm just curious. My bald baby girl was beautiful. She looked like a baby doll so I'm good with whatever. I was bald at birth and so was DH I just thought it would be interesting to have a baby with hair. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Heartburn was my only discomfort the first time around and I delivered one of those bald babies who didn't have hair until toddlerhood was looming. The second time around, heartburn was one of many discomforts and again, I had a baldie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I had psycho heartburn with the 12 yo. She had regular baby hair. With the boys, little to none, and they still have furry backs at 8 1/2. :lol: All three of them have really thick hair, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 WEll if by hair, you mean hair on the head, yes, they all had a full head of hair and yes, I had heartburn with all. BUt I have heartburn without being pregnant too since I have Sjogren's Syndrome and that decreases both my saliva and my digestive juices.

athena1277 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 No heartburn with dd and she was bald. I had heartburn for the first time in my life while pg with ds. We were expecting another baldy, but were shocked when he was born with a head full of hair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redheadmom Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I have massive heartburn and was on Zantac for most of my second pregnancy. DS only had a little hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkacademy Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I am 30 something years old and until last year I didn't know what heartburn was. Never had it. All of my babies had full heads of hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenn- Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 All three pregnancies had horrible heartburn. None of my kids had exceptional amounts of hair. If you are suffering, get some Zantac. That stuff was a life saver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommylawyer Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Of my five pregnancies, my child with the most hair (picture a covered head of almost 2-inch long black hair) gave me the least heartburn. I've had some heartburn with my current (fifth) pregnancy, and any day now I'll know if it's because of hair! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhomemaker25 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Tried to upload the picture, but it says its too big. The u/s was cute though. Looks like a little Mohawk. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeW88 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 HORRIBLE heartburn with my dd (her middle name was almost Mylanta, I ate so much of that stuff), and she had a full head of hair, so for me, it was true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Severe heartburn, lots of Tums, and babies who had lots of hair. Three of them born at 27 weeks, and still had lots of hair. No one ever mentioned it when I had ultrasounds. I think it is haireditary. I had lots of hair when I was born, and DH had plenty too.

dirty ethel rackham Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I never had heartburn during pregnancy, but my babies had tons of hair ... so much so that a friend accused me of putting a wig on my son's newborn picture. She called him Baby Elvis :laugh: . They never lost their hair either. My sister had heartburn and she had cue-ball headed babies who didn't get hair much hair until they were 2.

SarahW Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I had tons of heartburn the last trimester, and my kid was born with translucent peach fuzz. He looked bald, but if you ran your hand over his head you realized he wasn't. I think hair at birth has something to do with genes. I know Irish-Asian cross babies are usually born with more hair than a supermodel with a weave. With plain ol' wasp types it seems to be more miss than hit.

Clear Creek Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I had heartburn with one pregnancy, but she had no more hair than my other two babies (which meant slightly more than none, lol). Zantac 150 was my BFF with that girl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyLady Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Whenever people see my children's newborn pics they ask if I had heartburn because they both had so much hair. Nope! None at all! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS Mom in NC Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Are people still spreading that silly myth around? No heartburn with either of my bio kids. One had a little peach fuzz and the other had a head full of 2 inch long thick hair that never fell out, so she had a bob by her 1st birthday.
