I love spicy food yaar, cant eat anything without chillies. But my MIL keeps stopping me saying it will harm the baccha. Im in 2nd trimester. Does spicy food really affect the baby ya its just a myth? pls share.
In our joint family, my saas strictly kept me away from very spicy food saying it's too warm for the body. Honestly, she was right in a way because whenever I ate spicy food, I got terrible acidity! Better to keep it light and simple.
Spicy food doesn't directly harm the baby, but it can cause severe acidity and heartburn for u. Always check with your gynac if u have stomach pain after eating spicy food. It's best to keep your spices moderate for your own comfort.
I was extremely careful with my food after my previous loss and avoided heavy spices altogether. While spicy food doesn't cause miscarriage, the gas and stomach irritation it causes can make u feel very uncomfortable and anxious. Try to stick to mild, home-cooked food for peace of mind.
When I ate a very spicy biryani in my second trimester, I felt a burning sensation in my chest that made me so restless. I actually cried thinking I harmed my baby, but my doc reassured me that baby was perfectly safe. From that day, I chose milder foods.
The baby won't come out spicy, don't worry! But your chest will definitely feel like it's on fire with all that acidity. Eat your favorite spicy dishes in small amounts unless u want to live on antacids all night!
I am not a doctor, but in my experience, eating spicy food only gave me bad gas and acidity. The baby was completely fine and healthy. I just had to reduce my green chili intake to feel comfortable myself.
My mother used to tell me to avoid spicy pickles during pregnancy to prevent stomach heat. But my doctor assured me that baby is safe inside, though it will definitely give me bad heartburn. So I restricted spicy food and stuck to comforting curd rice.
It doesn't hurt the baby at all, but the heartburn can be really uncomfortable, especially in the third trimester. I used to drink a glass of cold milk after meals if I ate anything spicy. Just eat in moderation so u can sleep peacefully.
No, it doesn't affect the baby. But it will definitely make your life miserable with acidity and indigestion. Eat simple ghar ka khana and avoid too much red chili for your own sake.
I recently delivered my baby, and during my pregnancy, I craved spicy street food like crazy! I ate panipuri and spicy curries but always ended up with acid reflux. If u can handle the heartburn, thoda bohot is fine, but don't overdo it.
