That's interesting! I had no heartburn, and all three kids were born with very little white-blond fuzz.
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

I'll have to ask my mother, because I was born with an inch of dark hair all over my little noggin -- looked like I had stuck my finger in a socket.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's definitely held true among the 4 moms/6 kids in my building. (My understanding is it's a real statistical correlation but honestly not really worth studying so nobody knows what the actual connection is.)

Ha, my mom must have had awful heartburn, then, because I came out looking like those troll dolls.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

IIRC, heartburn during pregnancy correlates with babies with lots of hair. For whatever that's worth.
Interesting. In my case it simply correlated with third trimester. The first came out pert near hairless, but the second had a full head of hair.

Ugh, Stephanie, I hope you can get some relief. I wonder if it's the milk in cereal that helps? Could you try drinking milk with your meals and see if that makes a difference? (Note: I don't actually know the first thing about treating heartburn, just sort of thinking aloud.)
