I love spicy food yaar but my MIL keeps stopping me saying it will harm the baby. is that actually true? im in 2nd trimester and craving teekha so badly lol.
If you crave spicy, go for it but in small limits to avoid loose motions. Chew some saunf or drink cold milk if it starts burning. But if you have severe cramps or vomiting after eating spicy stuff, please check with your doctor.
Arey nahi, bacche ko kuch nahi hota mirch se, par aapka pet kharab ho sakta hai. Humare yahan toh bolte hain thoda kam teekha khao nahi toh bad-hazmi ho jayegi. Thoda dahi ya lassi sath me liya karo.
Spicy food is fine, but check what you are eating it with—often spicy dishes have heavy carbs or fried stuff. Keep your diet balanced and check your blood sugar if you are eating heavy meals outside. Simple ghar ka khana is safest.
Spicy food won't harm your baby, but it will definitely give you terrible heartburn and acidity. For your own comfort, keep the spices mild, especially in the evening. If you ever feel severe stomach pain after eating, do consult your doctor.
With busy office hours, getting heartburn from lunch is the worst. I stopped putting extra green chillies in my dabba entirely. It's safe to eat, but practically not worth the afternoon discomfort when you have to work.
Honestly, I ate spicy biryani throughout my pregnancy and my baby was perfectly fine! It doesn't affect the baby at all as they are safe inside. Just make sure you don't get painful acidity, so balance it out.
No baby is not going to get spicy soup in there, don't worry! 😄 It's totally safe but can make your stomach super upset. Just enjoy in limit and keep a glass of cold milk ready!
Oh god, I used to worry that spicy food would reach the baby or cause some harm! My doctor told me it's completely safe for the baby, but can cause painful pile issues or acidity for the mom. So please be careful with the chilli levels!
I also craved spicy pani puri a lot, but later it gave me such bad gas that I couldn't sleep. Trust me, post-delivery recovery is easier if your digestion remains smooth during pregnancy. So eat mindfully, yaar.
After a long wait to get pregnant, I was scared of even minor things like red chilli. My doctor gently explained that it doesn't cause any harm to the pregnancy. Just eat what makes your body feel comfortable and stress-free.
