I think it really is just one of those old wives tales, like carrying high/ low/ left/ right etc etc. FWIW I had bad heartburn and DD looked like she had stuck her finger in a power socket......SO much hair
Severe heartburn here with quite a few of mine. So severe that with 2 of them i was vomitting blood and needed to be hospitalised both times and have a blood transfusion one of those times. All born bald lol. The ones where i didnt suffer bad heartburn were the ones born with lots of hair.
Heh, with DD I had heartburn to the point of vomiting blood as well, she ummm, had *some* hair when she was born - but it was all down her back not on her head.
With Penguin I had bad heartburn and would vomit, but no blood this time. He is a fuzzy little monkey with hair down his back, on his shoulders and even tufts of fuzz on his ears...and he has some (but not much) on his head, so beats DD in the fuzz stakes
I had heart burn with DD1 and she was as bald as, and she didnt get any decent hair growth until she was 2yrs. DD2 I had the same heartburn and she had so much hair she looked like a monkey when she was born
This time round Im getting the heartburn back, so who knows.
(Ok so after writing this Im not sure it makes sense)
So my question comes about because the other night I was laying in bed with some really bad heartburn. And it got me thinking about the whole old wives tale. Sprout is head down, so if it has hair on its head then I couldnt work out how it could be annoying my stomach. So that made me think that maybe sprout has hairy feet, afterall thats what's closest to my stomach.. But then that got me thinking, and it went downhill from there. And now I cant work out the thinking behind such an old wives tale.
My DS2 was by far my hairiest baby, born with a full head of hair that never dropped and is still as thick as ever today yet I had the worst ever heartburn with DD1 & DD2 and they were both born with much smaller amounts of hair compared to DS2.
