I haven't ever heard that... I know some people say that spicy foods upset their baby but I don't think they can harm the baby in any way.
Nachos sound really good!

Hope this helps...

Answer from Dr. Larry L. Veltman, medical director of obstetrics and gynecology at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center: I am not aware of any scientific information that indicates spicy foods are a problem with pregnancy. You may experience a little more indigestion in pregnancy and spicy foods could exaggerate that, so for that reason you may want to eat mild foods. However, I know of no harm to the fetus from spicy foods.

I ate so much taco salad when I was pregnant with my dd, I think my dh thought I would turn into a japaleno. And she's beautiful. No blotches or spots at all.

I ate TONS of mexican food when I was preggo with Jessi. Mike kept telling me if she came out looking hispanic, he'd know why I was really eating lunch there 3 and 4 times per week. Would ya believe she could have passed for hispanic with all that dark hair?
