Heartburn means Baby will have hair at birth

There is an "Old Wive's Tale" that if a mom-to-be has a lot of heartburn during her pregnancy, then her child will be born with a head full of hair. So let's put it to the test.

Did you have heartburn during your pregnancy(ies)? Did your child(ren) have hair when he was born?

For me, yes and yes - both times.

What about you?
