Can spicy foods really send you into labor?

Question

Answer

The theory behind it is that it upsets the bowels (like castor oil) which women feel sparks labour.

Answer

No it's a myth. I eat spicy stuff all the time.

Answer

Oops. I meant to hit myth! Lol

Answer

From what I’ve always heard, if you eat spicy food regularly then no because your body is used to it. If you don’t then it has the potential but it’s definitely more on the myth side than reality.

Answer

Lol I wish. I’d be guzzling hot sauce right now

Answer

If it did, I’d have had a bunch of premature labors. I love spicy food.
