Women can eat spicy food in the late stage of pregnancy, but they should not eat too much to avoid adverse effects on the fetus.
Pregnant women who usually like to eat spicy food, eating some spicy food in small amounts in late pregnancy will have little effect on itself. If pregnant women eat too much spicy food, it may cause sore throat, gastrointestinal discomfort, constipation and other symptoms. Pregnant women with severe constipation symptoms will have a significant increase in abdominal pressure when straining to defecate, which is not good for the fetus.
Women who eat too much spicy food in late pregnancy may also cause some irritation to the neural development of the fetus, which is not favorable to the health of the fetus.
It is recommended to try to eat a light diet, less spicy and stimulating foods, and regular obstetric checkups during late pregnancy.
