No harm at all. I live in Thailand where most food is considerably hotter than a vindaloo and Thai mothers eat it every day whether pregnant or not and give birth to perfectly healthy kids.
When Thais do eat Indian food, which is rare because most don't like it, they eat raw chillies sprinkled in or even on a side plate with vindaloo.
What goes into your stomach is not what passes through your blood supply to your baby.

The only thing you need to worry about is heartburn. The only stuff known to harm babies that you can eat or drink is alcohol and certain kinds of drugs(illegal and legal).
So if you like the hot and spicy then enjoy but have the antacid standing by.

I shouldn't imagine so, but do watch out later in the pregnancy, was advised by midwife to eat hot curries if we wanted the baby out quicker. Didn't work all three of ours liked the accommodation and stayed later than they should of...

No it won't harm your baby. However bear in mind that not everyone enjoys a hot curry and that your baby may be one of those.

It might just give you heartburn.
I'm 36 weeks and haven't had heartburn once and i crave spicy food. So if it doesn't bother you, eat up!

No. You tend to get a lot more heart burn when you're pregnant.
