I'm pregnant and craving some fruit, but my family has told me to avoid certain ones. Can I safely eat papaya or pineapple? I've heard mixed things and want to be careful.
Having PCOS made me extra careful throughout my pregnancy journey because I was so scared of complications. My elders and doctor both said to avoid raw papaya and pineapple. I just didn't want to experiment, so I avoided them entirely.
I had gestational diabetes so my diet was super restricted anyway. I completely avoided fruits like pineapple because they can spike blood sugar fast, and skipped papaya too just to be safe. Please check with your nutritionist or doctor before adding these.
I generally love pineapples for post-workout snacks, but after getting pregnant, I stopped eating them. Now I focus on light evening walks and prenatal yoga, which my doctor allowed. For diet doubts, better to get a customized chart from your gynac.
Actually, my family told me to completely avoid both papaya and pineapple during the whole nine months. I didn't want to take any risk so I just stayed away from them. Personally, it felt safer to skip them and eat apples or pomegranates instead.
Hamare yahan toh bada-budhe bilkul mana karte hain papaya aur pineapple khane se. Yeh thoda garm hote hain baby ke liye. Aap iski jagah kela ya seb khao, woh jyada thik rahega beta.
