Morning Sickness & Amount of Hair on Newborn

Mellissa - posted on 03/10/2010

I had morning sickness all the way through at least the seventh month with all of my kids and they all had hair!! The oldest had hair long enough to put barrettes and rubber bands in the minute she was born. Now I am pregnant again and this is the worst morning sickness I've had, so I guess, now I have a theory to check out. I heard that it was heart burn. The more heartburn you have the more hair. That theory proved to be wrong, since I had no heart burn at all with any of my pregnancies, except this one!

I had morning sickness with all my three kids and they were all born with lots of hair. With my first, my morning sickness didn't stop until I delivered and my daughter was born with the most hair of all three. When I was in labor, they try to mornitor her heart beat from her head but they coulding because she had head full of hair!

I had morning sickness through the whole pregnancy and my son had so much hair it was crazy

no...my cousin had terrible morning sickness with her first, and her daughter was bald until she was almost 3.

I had no morning sickness what so ever... I felt great all 9 months and my son was born with a full head of dark brown hair... :) and i also had no heartburn either!

I had TONS of morning sickness... and my little man had a head full of hair. However, my mom was very sick when she was pregnant with me and my sisters, but we were all bald.

My son had hair! I had no morning sickness!

I can definitely bust this Myth! I had no morning sickness nor indigestion and my little guy was born with a head full of hair. check out my pictures. His hair stands up on its own, I comb it down and it pops right back up.

Both my boys were born with almost the same amount of hair, very little, and both I was very very sick the first 4 months of my preagnacy, so I don´t bealive this!

I didn't have any morning sickness and my baby had more hair than any baby I'd ever seen! So I don't think it matters. I did have horrible heartburn though and had heard that meant a lot of hair...

I had always heard it was heartburn (a lot of it) that determined if a baby had a lot of hair at birth. I didn't have m.s. with either child, but lots of heartburn with my oldest. My oldest was born with a lot of hair. :)

No morning sickness with either pregnancy and both had full heads of hair!

I did not have morning sickness with my older 2 children and they had incredible thick and long dark brown hair! On the other hand with my 3rd child I had morning sickness and he was qalmost bald, just very fine blond fuzz! Same father for all!!!!!

i never suffered from morning sickness at all with my son and he had a full head of hair

Denise - posted on 03/10/2010

I had terrible morning sickness, couldn't even raise my hands above my head without setting me off, and both boys were born with a ton of hair! I had always heard it was if you had a lot of indigestion you would have a baby with lots of hair. I had that too. I don't know if either is true, but I imagine the medical profession would say it isn't.

I was so sick with every one of my children, and I have 6, but I was the most sick with the first one, and she was born bald. I have heard this before, but it has to be a myth!!

Rachael - posted on 03/10/2010

I was sick the whole time and my little girl had no hair, no eyelashes and no eyebrows when she was born. She really did not have hair until she was almost two! I also had heartburn for months so I am thinking you just never know!

Ellen - posted on 03/10/2010

i had zero morning sickness with either pregnancy, and both of my kids were born with full heads of black hair, which didn't fall out but rather just thickened and grew.

however, i had read of the association with heartburn (apparently the hormone causing hair growth causes heartburn, or vice versa), and i had terrible heartburn with both of them. carried tums on my person at all times :)

I had no morning sickness at all and my kid was born with a so much hair! It was about an inch in length all over. She had her first haircut at just 3 months and has been going to get haircuts every month since! It is so thick we break hair ties all the time. She has trouble brushing it. She is now 9 years old! I don't believe any of these studies anymore. It is all genetics. My husband has really thick auburn hair and so do I. Our kid has 2x the amount!

My first baby I suffered from morning sickness for the first 5 months and he was born with a full head of hair, he had his first hair cut at 4 months because his hair was so long.

My second son I had morning sickness for 9 months and he had very little bit on top and bald the rest of his head.

My third son I was sick for 3 weeks and he was born with hair not as much as my first but a lot more then my second. It seems to be an "old wives tale"

Gina - posted on 03/10/2010

I had morning sickness with 3 of 4 of my kids and they were all born with a ton of hair. But on the other side with my other pregnancy I didn't have any morning sickness and he was also born with a ton of hair. I always heard that the more heart burn you had the more hair the baby will have. I had terrible heart burn with all my kids.

Megan - posted on 03/10/2010

My wife was sick (vommiting almost every 2 hours for about three months straight with both of our girls. Both of our girls were almost

bald till atleast 1 year.

Desmon - posted on 03/10/2010

I had morning sicknes all day long through my whole pregnancy and my daughter was practically bald, just a little peach fuzz.

Aqeela - posted on 03/10/2010

I loved the heartburn.....full heads of hair - both of them

Rachael - posted on 03/10/2010

I had morning sickness for at least 6 months of my pregnancy, and my daughter had VERY little hair.

Diana - posted on 03/10/2010

I lost over 20 lbs. with both pregnancies from severe morning sickness and both of my children came out practically bald! :)

Amanda - posted on 03/10/2010

i didn't suffer from morning sickness when i had my son and he had a head full of hair. however, i've heard that there is an association between the amount of hair on the baby and heartburn later on in the pregnancy (from 7 months onwards)

Kim - posted on 03/10/2010

I have 3 children and had equal amount of morning sickness with each of them, my first was born with a medium amount of hair the second not so much and i say out of the 3 i had the most sickness with him and my daughter was more fine dark hair over her body realy, but my sister didnt realy have much sickness and my niece had the most hair you could ever have seen and just kept growing, so i think with me its just a wives tale.

Erica - posted on 03/10/2010

I had no morning sickness and my baby girl was born with a full head of thick, dark hair.

Christine - posted on 03/10/2010

My little girl was born with a full head of hair and I had absolutely no morning sickness at all.

Holly - posted on 03/10/2010

I never had a drop of morning sickness and my daughter had a head full of hair. I will say this though, the last month I had indigestion pretty bad, I have heard the old wives tale that this has something to do with it, but reallly I just think it is the genes. My first child had a hair, again no morning sickness, but no indigestion either... Who knows...

Caroline - posted on 03/10/2010

I had really bad moring sickness with both of mine, and was on tablets with my secod as i couldnt even keep water down. Both were born with a lot of hair, my daughter had a pixie type bob! My son had a full head which my husband clippered one afternoon to a grade 4!! : ( not too happy bout that!

Lindsay - posted on 03/10/2010

No morning sickness and my son had a full head of hair when born.

Theresa - posted on 03/10/2010

I had horrible morning sickness with both and the first had a headful of hair but the second is 16 months and still very fine hair and very little hair.

Ashley - posted on 03/10/2010

I had horrible morning sickness for the first 16 weeks and Sofia has more hair than I've ever seen on a baby. However, I also had horrific heartburn for the entire pregnancy, and that's what I've always heard means the baby will have lots of hair.

Priscilla - posted on 03/10/2010

I had morning sickness with both of my boys...it was more severe with my second that I became dehydrated and was hospitalized for a week, and they both were born with lots of hair!

Laini - posted on 03/10/2010

I had no morning sickness my baby came out with a head full of hair.

Sylvia Raab - posted on 03/10/2010

I had morning sickness up to the day I delivered and my baby had very little hair.

Annette - posted on 03/10/2010

I have 2 and 1 more on the way, morning sickness with everyone and both so far were born with just enough to put a ONE barret on top. when they were about 2 that's when the hair came in, I myself was born with hair then it all fell and now I have hair to spare. So it's all about genetics.

Wendy - posted on 03/10/2010

From what I've read this isn't true. I've read and my doctor has told me that a lot of heartburn could mean a lot of hair at birth, because heartburn/indigestion have the same hormone that grows hair. I don't know how true it is, but I've herd for years that extreme morning sickness is a sign of a healthy baby. I didn't have much morning sickness, but I've had terrible terrible heartburn and it only gets worse as time goes by. I'm due in the middle of July, so I'm curious if my baby boy is going to have a full head of hair. I hope so and all this suffering isn't for nothing....lol

With 3 pregnancies, I never had morning sickness yet my firstborn a girl was bald till she was 2. My second and third born, both boys had full heads of hair at birth.

Cait - posted on 03/10/2010

I actuallly had never heard that before but I would say theres definitley some truth to it, I was sick with both of my kids the entire 9 months day and night and they both were born with heads full of thick dark hair

Dawn - posted on 03/10/2010

I had no morning sickness and both my girls were born with a full head of hair

Renee - posted on 03/10/2010

I had no morning sickness but alot of heartburn and my daughter was born with a head of hair.

Jenni - posted on 03/10/2010

I had no morning sickness and my daughter was born with a full head of hair although the midwife said having heartburn would mean your baby would be hairy and I had severe heartburn during my pregnancy so was worried I was going to give birth to chewbacca but luckily she had just the right amount of hair so I think its all just myths.

Kath - posted on 03/10/2010

Morning sickness all day, every day from about 7 weeks with all (even a miscarriage) and barely any hair on the head of all 4 babies.

Sharon - posted on 03/10/2010

i had morning/afternoon/evening and night sickness.. and my daughter had a fair bit of hair! so that theory works for me!

HaHaHa...I did get back at my mom ahead of time....I had the fullest head of hair & now she can NOT stand me. This IS hIlarious! Inaway...shurg

Hi there, I was extremely nauseous with my second child, for months on end, morning, noon and night. If I woke up at 3am I would be nauseous and even throwing up. It was terrible. My boy was born with what I would call an average mop of hair, we are quite light in complexion with blonde hair, so definately not a full mop of hair. So I don't quite agree with that opinion. I think it is more hormone related. And unfortunately, NOTHING helped and I tried everything, from doctor's prescription medication to homeopathic drops and home remedies.

Bad morning sickness, a daughter with a fair head of hair! However i've only heard hair = heartburn.
