what are the possible effects on the baby, if a pregnant woman eat a lot of spicy foods? How it will show the effect on the baby?

Why would there be any effect? After all, healthy babies are born also in cultures, where people eat mostly (or only) spicy food. In other words, the issue of spicy food and pregnancy is not more than a myth. Having said that, naturally, if eating spicy food causes sickness (to the mother) or heartburn (which it might), the mother should avoid it.

i=It won't really have an effect on the baby. But it will on the mother. She could get incredible heart burn. Acid reflux. Just a lovely experience. (not) and I oughtta know. I like spicy. I am pregnant. And once or twice I have paid the price.
