I love spicy food, like cant imagine my khana without it. Now im 10 weeks and MIL keeps saying no mirchi at all. Is it really harmful or is she just being extra? craving teekha so bad.
I ate a little bit of chilli during my pregnancy, but I found that too much made me very uncomfortable with heartburn. It won't directly harm the baby, but it might make *you* feel really uneasy. So, listen to your body and maybe keep it mild. Your comfort matters a lot too!
With my gestational diabetes, I had to be super careful about everything I ate. While a little bit of chilli is generally fine and won't harm the baby, too much spicy food can cause acidity, heartburn, and indigestion for *you*, which is already common in pregnancy. So, moderation is key, and if you're worried, always ask your gynac.
Haan, thoda bohot toh kha sakte ho. Hum Indians ko toh mirchi bina maza hi nahi aata na khane mein! Just make sure it's not making you feel too acidic ya pet mein jalan na ho. If you start feeling uncomfortable, then best to cut down. Listening to your body is important.
From a general health perspective, eating chilli in moderation is usually okay unless you have sensitivity or it causes discomfort. I always checked with my doctor for everything, just to be sure it wouldn't cause any issues like acidity or indigestion that could interfere with my comfort or routine. If it makes you feel bad, better to avoid.
My doctor actually said that eating chilli or spicy food during pregnancy is generally safe and won't harm the baby. The main concern is often for the mother's comfort, as it can worsen heartburn, acidity, or an upset stomach, which are common pregnancy symptoms. So, if you can tolerate it without discomfort, it's fine in moderation.
