Heartburn is killing me these days, 5 months pregnant. My nani used to say jab heartburn zyada ho toh baccha will have lots of hair, hahaha. is there any truth to this or just a fun old saying? anyone whose baby came with lots of hair?
Haha, that's just an old wives' tale, sweetie! Heartburn is actually caused by progesterone relaxing the stomach valve and acid splashing up. Don't stress too much about these myths, just try having cold milk to soothe it!
I had such severe heartburn that I couldn't sleep, and I kept worrying if it was some serious issue. People kept saying it's baby's hair, but it was just gastric reflux. If it gets really unbearable, definitely ask your doctor for a safe antacid.
Oh, I remember this myth so well! I had terrible heartburn and everyone kept telling me my baby would have thick hair, but she was born almost bald! It's actually just the hormones relaxing your digestive system, but it's still such a sweet old tale.
I totally understand how uncomfortable that burning chest sensation is, it is so hard to deal with. While the hair connection is just a myth, it's still cute to think of your little one growing. Take small meals and take care of your beautiful self.
I've heard my elders say this too, and it sounds so interesting. But actually my friend told me it's just acidity because of the baby growing and pushing the stomach up. I hope you feel better soon!
