Eat spicy during pregnancy

My mother in law say i shouldnt eat too much spicy food during pregnancy as it will cause rash to the baby in the womb. Anyone has experienced it? I eat spicy keropok as snacks, sometimes i eat my meal with chili sauce in moderate. I feel (a bit of) spicy food is the only thing can keep my food down though before the pregnancy i didnt like spicy food at all🥹

You can eat spicy but in moderation and not often. I do love to have it with cili padi kicap but when I pregnanct I cut down. Because it may cause stomach upset (which you never know), digestion issue to then lead to diarrhea and cause pregnancy to trigger.
