Can you eat spicy food in early pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I eat spicy food in the early stages of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

After pregnancy, it is best not to eat spicy food because pregnant women are prone to constipation after pregnancy, and spicy food can worsen it. Although spicy food can stimulate appetite, these spicy substances can enter the fetus through the mother's blood circulation, causing adverse stimulation to the fetus.
Ultrasound should be quite accurate. Normal pregnancy starts with fetal heart monitoring once a week from the 37th week of pregnancy. If there are complications or complications, it can start from the 28th to 30th week of pregnancy.
Normal fetal heart rate is 120-160 beats per minute.
