6903444 tn?1385943346 s tales but I did just read something about heartburn during pregnancy. It is said that heartburn during pregnancy means a greater chance at baby being born with hair but I don't see how hair could cause heartburn lol.

20922415 tn?1661860103 During the reproductive years, the pituitary gland in the brain generates hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH]) that cause a new egg to mature and be released from its ovarian follicle each month. As the follicle develops, it produces the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which thicken the lining of the uterus called the endometrium.
Avatar f tn There have actually been studies done recently by John Hopkins which found that women who gave birth to hairy babies had more estrogen in their bodies during pregnancy, which causes the esophogeal sphincter to losen and allows stomachn acid intl the throat. So, yes. Heartburn can mean a hairy baby. But no heartburn doesn't always mean a bald baby.
Avatar f tn I recently went to my drs office and mentioned that I was feeling nauseated again at 36 weeks. He stated that it's due to indigestion and I brought up how I used to be on an acid reflux medicine called protonix before getting pregnant but discontinued use of it after finding out. I've been feeling horrible but I'm iffy about taking it. anyone ever taken nexium during pregnancy?

Avatar n tn You can safely take Dramamine during pregnancy. It doesn't hurt the pregnancy at all and it's an OTC drug. it'll help with the nausea. ALso, if tums dont work for heart burn, then you need to look into Zantac or preferably the generic brand Ranatadine. it's about 1/4 the price. Try these two and a cup of warm tea and see how that helps.!
Avatar f tn Its fine with my first pregnancy there wasn't enough tapatio in the world to satisfy my craving for spicy foods. I even ate jalapeƱos...and before that I was someone that couldn't eat hot cheetos because they would make me choke! That kid had me dipping hot cheetos in tapatio as a midnight snack lmao!

6954086 tn?1398695955 If you want to get suuuuper technical, the current popular belief for what causes Autism is now when a mother ears an abundance of fasr food during pregnancy. The basis for this is that Autism occurs mostly in the u.s. with no real cases that cant be traced back to the u.s. so it has to be something we have here that other countries dont typically have so.... fast food got picked.
Avatar f tn will eating spicy food during pregnancy cause a miscarriage? im 17 weeks, or a missed miscarriage? really worried!
Avatar f tn I eat spicy everything lol I can't stay away(: just take a zantac before nd you'll be fine. haha I usually eat my spicy stuff with a glass of milk, too.
582963 tn?1483452520 Heart burn, for me, has been my worst pregnancy symptom. With my first pregnancy I had heartburn for a whole week. It never let up... so I tested an got a bfp. I'm 29 weeks pregnant now an heart burn an swelling has been my only symptoms. I never had morning sickness or any thing like that. I nick named my baby, this pregnancy, BABY TUMS at about 7 weeks. I have tums by my bed, in my purse, an in my car. LOL. So needless to say it depends on the person.

Avatar f tn I had hart burn with my first and 3rd, they were boys. My second no hart burn and was a girl. All 3 times my belly was supper itchy. All 3 of my babies were supper hairy when they were born. My daughter the most hairy, it was not only on her head but her face and back, yup I called her my little monky and she looked like one. Ive never heard this saying before though hart burn usually is connected to having a boy. And itchy belly to hairy baby. Maybe its all in our minds eye.
Avatar n tn if what you asking is "could this be due to pregnancy" it's unlikely. heartburn in pregnancy is due to a number of things one being the size pf the pregnant uterus pushing the stomach and causing reflux. Also higher levels of progesterone during pregnancy cause acid reflux to occur. I feel this is too early to be pregnancy related. good luck.
