Will really spicy food cause miscarriage?

[Mama2b99]

Hey:

I know this sounds weird but will spicy food affect the baby ? Or is it an old wives tale!

No it won't.

No, probably give you heartburn though

No. I’ve never even heard of it as an old wives tale. I ate a lot of spicy food and never got heartburn.

Of course not. Otherwise no indian babies would be born ;)

I had cravings for hot indians when i was pregnant and ate very little else. Its fine x

Yes, no babies are ever born at term in cultures where spicy cuisines are the norm.

I have the hots for Sanjeev Bhaskar but I'm not pregnant.

me too TBF

Tone down the sarcasm a notch everyone is on here to learn something new...

You are conflating the old wives tale of eat a spicy dish to start labour with spicy food will cause a miscarriage. But regardless, it really just is a myth and it won't effect you.

They don't but I used to avoid them as sometimes after a very spicy curry my stomach cramps a bit and I didn't want to have those cramps and wonder was it the spicy food or was it the baby

Surely it doesn’t take much thinking to recognise that, given the widespread nature of spicy foods eaten worldwide, it’s highly unlikely to cause mass miscarriages?

Thereareareas of the world that eat spicy food and have babies so no I don't think it works that way
