On the other side of all the nos.... I am high risk with two previous preterm births. With this pregnancy I've been craving spicy foods so I decided to indulge at 32 weeks and ended up spending two days in L&D trying to get contractions stopped. Needless to say, no more spicy foods until 36 weeks. I think as long as you don't have a history of preterm and are not already dilated you should be fine.
I have craved spicy food my entire pregnancy. It gives me killer heartburn, but I can't help that it seems to be all I want. It hasn't had any pre term labor effect on me. I'm 39 weeks and baby boy is still cooking in there.

I pretty much douse most of my food in a multitude of hot sauces.
I wouldn't worry about it.
