Acid Reflux = Big Baby???

[Holly84]

Hi Cherii

I dont think that one is true. I never had anything like that and my bub was 10 pnd 6oz and 60 cm long! I was huge but was carrying a fair bit of fluid, but even my doc didnt say I was having a big baby. I dont think you can really tell. Even ultrasounds arent acurate to tell the size. I wouldnt worry about it at all.

I guess its another one of those old wives tales that may be true in some cases, but isn't in all.

I had acid reflux bad with my second daughter who weighed 40gm lighter than her bigger sister at birth. Only 4kg.

My good friend had severe reflux & her bubs both weighed under 3.5kg.

I thought the reflux/heartburn OWT was that if you had heartburn/reflux you would have a baby born with a full head of hair

Gotta love those Old Wives.....

nup, I drank 3 litres of milk a day with my first preg to try and help my reflux - Darcy was 3.2kg.
lol she did have lots of dark hair though.

Codswallop! Take it with a grain of salt and move on. For the record, I had it the worst with my 3rd smallest baby (who just happened to be over 9lb but also had a head full of thick black hair)
