Is it safe to eat exceptionally spicy foods while i am pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: During pregnancy, hormones relax the GI tract and make reflux more common; even in women who didn't have heartburn prior to pregnancy. If you are able to tolerate spicy food without adverse side effects, it's fine.
