It's totally normal to worry about everything you eat during pregnancy, I went through that too! For chilli, usually it's okay in moderation if your body is used to it. The main thing is to avoid anything that gives you too much acidity or discomfort. Don't stress too much about small things, though.
Uff, chilli during morning sickness? Forget it! But generally, a little bit of chilli is fine if you're used to it. Just be careful, it can sometimes worsen heartburn or acidity, which are already common pregnancy issues. Listen to your body, if it feels bad, avoid it.
During pregnancy, I ate my regular amount of chilli and it was fine. The baby won't taste it directly inside. Later, when breastfeeding, some moms notice if they eat too much chilli, baby gets gassy. But during pregnancy, it usually just affects your digestion, not the baby.
Arre yaar, hum Indians bina chilli ke kaise khaayenge? Actually, if you're used to eating spicy food, it's generally okay. My gynac said unless it gives you heartburn ya acidity ka problem, you can have it. Just don't overdo it, okay?
My doctor at the premium hospital actually said that unless you have a specific sensitivity or medical condition, moderate consumption of chilli is generally fine. The main concern is usually increased heartburn or gastric discomfort. If you're unsure, just ask your gynac or the hospital nutritionist directly, they are there to clarify.
