Pregnancy Folklore Revisited: The Case of Heartburn and Hair. (BIRTH 33:4 December 2006)
The objective of this study was to determine whether a common pregnancy belief that women who experience a lot of heartburn give birth to newborns with a lot of hair is accurate. [...]
Contrary to expectations, it appears that an association between heartburn severity during pregnancy and newborn hair does exist. We propose a shared biologic mechanism involving a dual role of pregnancy hormones in both the relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter and the modulation of fetal hair growth.

I think an RCT is in order. Also I vote for Chanelle Zibel. :)
