I'm 30 weeks, and everyone has me freaking out about preterm labor when eating spicy food. I'm not high risk pregnancy.

    All I craved was spicy food, and no pre-term labor (I'm 38 + 4 days now and no sign of labor).  Just have to watch out for the heartburn.

    Nope, it's a myth. (And a pretty silly one.)

    There's no way in hell I could get around having spicy food with the way my husband cooks sometimes. You'll be fine.

    I pretty much douse most of my food in a multitude of hot sauces.

    I wouldn't worry about it.

    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.

    If the spicy food thing were really true, no one would ever go past their due dates....

    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. :)
