Pregnant and craving jalapeños every day. Is this unhealthy?

Question

Yeah you heard that right. 😂 jalapeños.  And I’m barfing anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day due to terrible morning sickness, but I still crave a damn jalapeño.  I usually eat 1 jalapeño a day in a salad I make.
Anyway, besides me having a slightly upset stomach and need to use the restroom some hours later, lol, is this unhealthy?  I found mixed reviews online.. some say it’s actually good for you, others say it’ll hurt your kidneys.
My fellow jalapeño lovers, what do you say?

Answer

It’s fine as long as your butthole is fine. Mine no longer tolerates any kind heat and it’s a huge disappointment :(

Answer

So weird, I thought I was the only one craving them. I prefer them pickled at the moment. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.

Answer

The only thing I've wanted since day one - even through the morning sickness, acid reflux, everything that points to don't eat spicy food - was spicy food! And I haven't denied myself yet. I'm not saying it's the right thing though 😆

My mom ate red hot peppers in the jar when pregnant with me. She said she couldn't even wait to get home. She'd buy them and eat them on the way out of the store lol

I think its fine as long as it's not directly contributing to your vomiting
