The heartburn during pregnancy
2018-01-26 09:42:48
While searching for natural pregnancy tips to relieve heartburn, you may have come across claims surrounding the link between heartburn during pregnancy and the amount of hair that your baby has. Some people think that if your baby has a lot of hair, this could be what’s causing heartburn. But is this true, or just another pregnancy myth? Here’s what you need to know.

It might sound like another ridiculous old wives’ tale, and that’s exactly what doctors thought it was – until they actually tested it. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University conducted a study to find out once and for all if heartburn and the amount of hair newborns have were in any way connected. To their shock, it actually was.
 
The study, which was published in the journal Birth, involved 64 pregnant women, 78 percent of whom reported experiencing heartburn. They rated the severity of their heartburn and the researchers kept track of the results. Then, after the women gave birth, photographs of their babies’ heads were given to the researchers, who used a scale to rate the newborns’ hair volume.

As it turns out, of the 28 women who had moderate to severe heartburn, 23 of them had babies with average or above-average amounts of hair. Meanwhile, 10 of the 12 women who reported no heartburn had babies with little or no hair.
