i hope you mean pepper..not paper.lol...jk. I was the same way i'm hispanic so i love spicy food. but with my last two i would go out of my way and make things even hotter. The side effects down the line might be more heartburn. So keep some tums if it gets really bad.

No, this will not harm your baby, however it may give your baby a taste for the spicy things later in childhood. Your cravings are normal. With my first pregnancy, at between 5 and 10 weeks, I found that I could not get enough Jalapino Peppers. And I have never been a spicy food eater. Before that pregnancy, I didn't even eat black pepper on my food. Anyway, the point is no, you won't hurt your baby. However, you need to be careful, as the heartburn is not far away.

No, it won't harm the baby in any way. Just make sure that you are eating lots of good healthy foods and you'll be fine. Stay away from raw meats, fish or eggs and you should be fine.
You mean pepper, not PAPER, right? Craving PAPER or any other non-food item is a condition known as pica and can be a signal of a vitamin or mineral deficiency.

Wont hurt the baby. Just make sure that you try to avoid it once you start breastfeeding since it will affect the taste of the milk and baby might no want to drink it.

Check with your doctor. Maybe your cravings mean you need an extra type of nutrient.
And make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. No one would believe it but eating plenty of salads and fruit makes pretty and healthy children, with nice heads of hair! I've been told this secret by baby doctors who have treated pregnant women.

Won't hurt the baby. Remember, in some cultures very spicy food is the norm and they have healthy babies.
