Didn’t work for me either. Had no heartburn, (thankfully!) but she has a moderate amount of hair. It was pretty dark when she was born but is starting to lighten up.

My daughter had tons of black hair. It was really funny–we could see it floating in a late ultrasound we had. But I didn’t have much heartburn…

I guess this wives tale didn’t work for me. I have been pregnant twice both times I had awful heartburn, to the point I couldn’t sleep at night and was popping tums like there were candy. but my twins (the first pregnancy) came out balder then a babies bottom and didn’t get hair until they were like 18 months old, my third boy had a tiny bit of hair but not much.He is two months old and still not much there. I finally shaved the twins hair off and that made it grow in nice and thick. So maybe that is what it will take to get hair on my third! :p

Oh, I had the WORST heartburn when I was pregnant. I’d never had it before in my life, but as soon as it showed up I knew what it was. Ugh. It started around my 4th month and didn’t stop until the day after I gave birth. And my sweet little baby boy didn’t have much hair when he was born. Just a barely-there little dusting of soft brown hair. My sister had 3 children with FULL, dark, thick heads of hair and I think she only had heartburn with one pregnancy. Having said all this, however, I love old wives tales and did think while pregnant that I was gonna have a big ole’ hairy baby.
