There's no shortage of pregnancy myths floating around out there. From what foods you can and can't eat while pregnant to the way you carry your belly, everyone's heard at least one pregnancy myth that someone wholeheartedly believes. One such myth has to do with craving spicy food.
Many pregnant people believe that craving spicy food is a sure sign you'll be having a boy at the end of the pregnancy. Healthline explains that these myths should be taken with a grain of salt. The real culprit of craving any kind of food boils down to your hormones.
The medical professionals at The Right Parenting agree that craving spicy food is completely normal and is even to be expected. The old wives' tale about spiciness being a predictor of your child's gender isn't supported by any scientific evidence. While it might sound cool to think the kind of food you're craving will help you predict whether you'll have a boy or a girl, this myth has been debunked.
