My MIL keeps telling me to avoid black pepper and spicy food now that im in my first trimester. I love my food a little masaledaar so this is hard haha. Is there any truth to this or is it just an old saying?
Regular pepper in food is fine and wont harm the pregnancy. But if you ever have bleeding or strong cramps, that is unrelated to pepper and you must call your gynac immediately. Dont let food myths scare you, focus on real warning signs.
Normal pepper used in everyday cooking will not cause a miscarriage, that is a common myth. I ate normally spiced food in both pregnancies. Just avoid extremely spicy meals if they upset your stomach or worsen acidity.
Beta the cooking amount of kali mirch is totally safe, dont believe these scary stories. We used it in food always. Just dont eat too much heat if it gives you acidity, otherwise no worry.
