Can we still take spicy food during pregnancy?

Love love love spicy food and I’m currently 30 weeks and didn’t cut down on any spicy food since the start of my pregnancy. Got nagged at by husband and mom but baby’s doing well so I don’t intend on stopping hehe. Just that some days my acid reflux is worse than most days. Other than that, I feel fine.

Old people will say to avoid spicy food but for me I love spicy food. Tbh I still eat spicy food. But I cut down here and there cause of acid reflux. My baby was born healthy. Ppl say to stay away is usually only because of acid reflux. Spicy food doesn't affect pregnancy 😊

never read from anywhere that pregnant cannot eat chilli 🤔 but i automatically cut down on it as it makes my acid reflux and morning sickness worse.. i think the only thing we cannot eat are just alcohol and raw foods! everything else is alright in moderation

I’m a fan of chilli hut strangely I couldn’t take spicy during first tri, now in my second tri I’m sometimes craving for sambal and enjoy food better. Just eat moderately and monitor your stool the next day will do!

Personally, I don’t cut down the spicy food. I eat moderately just to avoid discomfort to my stomach during pregnancy. The spiciness doesn’t go to the baby. If you’re worried, consult with your gynae .😊

So long you eat with moderation, there is no need to cut down completely. I had spicy food just hours before I checked myself to the labour room in my previous pregnancy. 😆😆

I think key is moderation on everything.. I also had craving of Tom yum, instant noodle etc.. so I guess moderation counts . of cos if u say raw then is really a no no..

I was super happy to hear my gynae say no restrictions on spicy food or cold drinks. But still, everything in moderation! :)

In my second trimester and I’ve been eating spicy food all along. Non spicy food makes my nausea worse

I’m approaching my 2nd tri and the only thing I can eat is spicy food. 🫢
