Can eating loads of hot spicy food affect my baby?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Mexican Food Recipes


Hi. I’m in the early stages of pregancy and I adore hot spicy food, like traditional mexican, chillis, indian curries etc. I was just wandering if eating quite alot during pregnancy can trigger early delivery or aggrivate the growing baby in any way? I’m curious as well as concerned as I like to use a variety of unique spices and peppers in cooking! Thanks.

Your baby loves spicy food! chili, garlic, and curry give the fluid a stronger flavour and once he or she is born the baby will recognize your fav foods in your breast milk.

    no not at all you will find that through your pregnancy you will have all kinds of different cravings it could give you a great deal of heart burn but i have to confess i never cared about the heart burn as long as my craving was being satisfied

    I absolutely love spicy foods while pregnant, actually I think I enjoy them more now that I’m pregnant. Anyhow, I’ve been eating them since I first found out, and am now 32 weeks and all is fine…and still haven’t had heartburn ever :) )

    there is no problem in eating spicy food ((in moderation)) during pregnancy, it doesn’t affect your baby at all, but it might give you heartburn though!
