Hot chilli 17 weeks pregnant

[Luclou]

Hi everyone.
My partner made a nandos chicken using a mild flavouring spice and lime. Even tho it said mild on packet it was still quite spicy. I think they use birds eye chilli's.
I'm 17 weeks pregnant and just worried that the spice and heat from it will hurt baby or cause miscarriage. (I've had one before, which is why I get worried)
Any reasurrance??

Its absolutely fine, what could a spicy food possibly do?

I knew it was the same person before I even looked at the post history. You need help with your anxiety, have you gotten that since you were advised to on any of your previous posts about the exact same topic, insane food concerns in pregnancy?

Hi OP, I have read a number of your threads in the past regarding food worry and other worries. I would agree with pp and advise that you speak to your midwife about this because this is a very high level of anxiety. It’s not good for you to be feeling this stressed and anxious every day. I hope you can find some help with this.

I'm sure chilli is fine and won't affect baby.

I know how bad the worry can be during pregnancy after loss. I've been a nervous wreck some days. I'm currently pregnant after a missed miscarriage last year. I would definitely talk to your midwife and ask to be referred to the perinatal mental health team.

Sending hugs, pregnancy after loss is rough.

Are you getting help for you anxiety issues?

Honestly it's fine. I get it though, I've had miscarriages and worry about everything tiny little thing. Think about it, women in some Asian countries who have spicy diets have healthy children all the time.

Do you not possess any critical thinking skills? This really isn’t ok

Why would Nando’s spice and lime sauce hurt your baby? What would it possibly do?

I think it's fine.
I used to eat spicy curry when pregnant with my twins- and it was always fine.:)

Eating chilli won’t harm your baby. You do realise that many cultures routinely eat highly spiced food?

Your constant anxiety is a problem though. With kindness, you must address this as a matter of urgency. Your mental health is paramount.

How do you think people in countries that eat a lot of spicy food cope?

Thanks for all the reassurance, it's nice to hear that baby will be okay. Just sometimes it's difficult and rather just ask.

And I have been referred to a perinatal mental health team last week, just waiting for a response.
Thanks again

I've just read you post history. You've said you're getting help for your anxiety but are you? Because these are non issues as has everything else you've posted and If you're only posting about the stuff you're really worried about im worried about how much you're worrying about in general that dosent make it onto these threads. Please please make sure you speak to your midwife xx

@Luclou think about all those millions of pregnant women in countries where spicy food is the norm. Glad you're getting help with your mental health
