Heartburn = baby with full hair?

Question

For anyone who has had babies, is the myth true that if you have heartburn during your pregnancy that you will have a baby with a lot of hair?

Answer

For my mom, and both my friends who just had babies in July it was true. Apparently there have been some studies that link a certain hormone to hair and increased heartburn but I think the final verdict is that it's still an old wives tale.

But my baby girl better have hair like Rapunzel, or I'm gonna be pissed that I had this much heartburn for no reason lol

I had horrible heartburn with my daughter and she barely had any hair at all at birth. Around the same time, a good friend had no heartburn and her daughter was born with so much hair it was crazy! I say total myth.
