I had terrible heartburn with my first 2 which were boys, and I always drank milk and it went away. this pregnancy no heartburn.. Maybe this means girl..

You might want to find out what kind of vitamin is in them, you may be craving them because you need that certain vitamin. I craved spicy mexican food throughout my last 2 pregnancies, and still am with this one, only not quite so much. Munch away!

Brandi J. - 76 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I too have had that craving in some of my other pregnancies, the only thing that I found was that it upset my tummy, so I would have to eat them sparingly.

professorpreggers - 76 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) no danger. I eat insanely spicy Thai food loaded with fresh jalapeño peppers at least once a week. Is't not going to harm the baby. It might keep you awake with kicking later, but that's about it.

nutmeg - 76 days ago well i love spicy food lol so it gets it from me

luvnthebelly - 76 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I swore I was the only one!! I have the same craving since I was 4 months, and I am now eight months and that hasnt changed. I was concerned about whether it was ok or not, so I asked my doctor and he said other than heartburn, there is no damage in eating as much spicy food as I wanted, and it isnt like craving ice or clay, which indicate low iron, so as long as you can tolerate it i would enjoy them.

nutmeg - 76 days ago maybe it likes spicy food

christina1984 - 76 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) im guessing the only danger is being annoyed by heartburn. there must be something in it that ur baby needs or u wouldnt be craving it like that. i dont see it hurting anything tho.
