Yes, but...: Yes, it's ok to eat spicy foods when pregnant, but since there tends to be more symptoms of reflux during pregnancy, spicy foods will make this worse.

Yes: Spicy food during pregnancy can aggravate heartburn, particularly as the pregnancy progresses. Heartburn can be a problem in pregnancy and certain foods can make that worse. Spicy foods will not harm the baby.
