Spicey Foods Posted: 07-13-05 20:41pm


Is eating spicey foods okay while pregnant? I was out for dinner yesterday night and ordered ministroni soup and pasta, and I love to put hot pepper flakes into both of them (i love spicey foods) and my mom said to be careful and only put in a itty bitty ammount. I'm going to be so dissapointed lol if I can't eat my hot foods! Kimmie

Spicy foods are fine. It's just near the end of pregnancy when most people get bad heartburn that people just don't want to eat spicy foods. I had such bad heartburn for the last 2 months of my pregnancy that it would wake me up.

Think spicey foods depends on the person. I'm about a two months and two weeks pregnant. Made some chicken this weekend and went a lil overboard on spices. It didn't settle well with me, heartburn/upset stomach. I don't think it really hurts the baby just think it made me feel kinda sick. I'm sure everyone is different though. Fried or greasy foods make me feel sick as well.

I ate spicy foods all through my pregnancy, and didn't have a lick of heartburn..I guess I was a lucky one.
