These days I feel like eating very very spicy food. Actually sometimes I make my mom prepare real spicy food. Mom was saying that I should avoid such food as I am pregnant. Now I am really worried can eating so spicy food cause some harm to my baby to be born.

I also love spicy food. Though I am still in the first trimester of pregnancy and I keep getting nausea I eat a lots of spicy food. And my doctor says it will not harm my baby only thing I need to take care is my body accepts it.

I keep having craving for spicy food every now and then. I think my baby also loves spicy food like me. Seeing me eating very spicy food my mom in law talked to my doctor and the doctor said its ok to spicy food but it may cause heartburns.

I did not have any spicy food at all as it caused severe gastric problem to me. Now when I am in my last few weeks left I am avoiding spicy food totally. But I guess if you do not have any problems you can have spicy food.

Though I like spicy food I could not have it from the starting of my pregnancy because if I eat spicy food my stomach gets upset and after that I feel very weak and dehydrated. My doctor strictly advised me not to have spicy food.
