(My understanding is it's a real statistical correlation but honestly not really worth studying so nobody knows what the actual connection is.)

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
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.)

Trust my rage
I have heard the hairy baby/heartburn connection before. I def. had heartburn worse in the 3rd tri. with each of the two before but this pregnancy it earlier than the others and more severely. I am only at 31 weeks so that's a long time to live.
eta: Dairy (ice cream and my favorite yogurt, which I've never had a problem with), have been among the worst. but the cereal seems to be okay. Maybe it's because it is 1.5% and the others are full fat.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Ha, my mom must have had awful heartburn, then, because I came out looking like those troll dolls.
Me too! So did my brother and sister. I'll have to ask her.

heartburn during pregnancy correlates with babies with lots of hair
My friend had terrible heartburn for her last trimester pregnant with her twins who, individually, were born with very little hair. BUT there are two of them!

Because books.
Third trimester you're just so *full* anyway -- there's not a lot of room left for your stomach, so eating just a little bit too much can be bad.

That was so fun. I loved the end.

As in, they had a ratel in the commercial? Cool.
