Food cravings.

I am now in my 6th wk and really wanting hot pickles. Does anyone have any bad experiences with spicy foods while pregnant? I'm just wondering if it'll be harmful to the baby before I go for it. Thanks in advance.

For my body I craved lime hot cheetos (I hate those) and when I ate them they were amazing! But it gives you the worst acid reflux :/

The only time that having cravings is harmful is if you're craving things that aren't food (laundry detergent, Pennies, drywall, ect). There is absolutely nothing wrong with eating spicy food when you're pregnant. Those pickles may give you heartburn, though.
Just see what works for you, and enjoy those pickles! Pickles were a go-to for me in the beginning. ;)
