After pregnancy, the excessive secretion of progesterone can cause some changes in the taste of pregnant women. Some women like to eat light food before pregnancy, but after pregnancy, the taste becomes heavier and they may particularly like spicy food, but pregnant women are not suitable for spicy food. So, does the baby feel the sensation when pregnant women eat spicy food?
Pregnant women who eat spicy food will feel it in the fetus. The dietary combination during pregnancy can affect the taste of amniotic fluid. If a pregnant woman frequently eats chili or very spicy food, it can stimulate the fetus. Because the chemicals in spicy food can be transmitted to the fetus through blood circulation, if the fetus dislikes spicy food, it will react accordingly, such as increased fetal movement.
Chili peppers contain substances that numb nerves. If pregnant women consume too much, it may affect the nerves of the fetus, so it is best for women not to eat chili peppers during pregnancy. In addition, chili peppers have a strong irritant effect. They not only stimulate the taste organs, but also stimulate the uterus, causing contractions and ultimately leading to fetal instability.
Pregnant women often experience constipation, and eating chili peppers can easily cause internal heat, making constipation symptoms even more severe. Constipation during pregnancy in women can lead to increased abdominal pressure, which in turn compresses the uterus, fetus, and local blood vessels, resulting in insufficient blood supply.
