HEART BURN AND HAIR?

Most of us have heard that if you have heartburn during your pregnancy, your baby will BE BORN WITH A FULL HEAD OF hair.  It turns out that the hormones that increase during pregnancy may cause relaxation of the sphincter muscle of the esophagus.

A study by Johns Hopkins, shows that women with more severe heartburn had babies with average to above average hair and that women with little heartburn had babies with lower than average hair.  There does seem to be a relationship between relaxation of the esophageal muscles and hair growth. At My Baby You’ll Be 4D Ultrasound we can detect hair in utero in 2D as early as 25 weeks.
