Spicy food while pregnant

I really love spicy food. I mean REALLY love it. I mean before pregnancy I was the type that could eat the spiciest sauces at restaurants like fire in the hole at pluckers or the atomic flavor at wing stop were a breeze. Anyways. Right now I’m 16 weeks pregnant and I crave spicy EVERYTHING I always want Valentina hot sauce on my chips or cholula hot sauce, whole jalapeños or just anything spicy on something I eat to add flavor. But my mother in law and my mom keep telling me so much spicy food is bad for the baby and that he’ll have warts or defects when he comes out. Is this true? Because I can’t eat anything without something spicy on it and I crave it all the time. I don’t get heartburn so that’s why I indulge so much but I don’t want to hurt my baby ☹️
