We ordered thai food and there was this raw papaya salad which i love. But everyone always says papaya is not good in pregnancy so i didnt touch it. Is the salad also a no?
No, no, please avoid green papaya salad! 🙅♀️ Unripe papaya is strictly off-limits because of latex which isn't safe for the baby. You can try a yummy cucumber or carrot salad instead to satisfy your crunchy cravings! 🥕🥗
Oh dear, I totally understand how frustrating it is to let go of your favorite cravings during this beautiful journey. But honestly, please avoid green papaya salad completely, sweetie. Unripe papaya has latex that can cause uterine contractions, and we want to keep your precious little one absolutely safe.
In our family, elders always say that raw papaya is strictly avoided as it creates heat and can cause miscarriage. When I asked my doctor, she also confirmed that unripe green papaya used in salads is unsafe due to latex. It is much better to eat safe vegetables and fully ripe yellow papaya in moderation instead.
Please stay away from green papaya salad. Having faced complications myself, I strictly followed my doctor's advice, and they said unripe or raw papaya is highly risky and can cause uterine contractions. Always consult your gynac before trying any such foods to be absolutely safe.
I love spicy Thai green papaya salad so much and honestly, I was wondering if I'll have to completely avoid it when I conceive. From what I've read, unripe papaya is a big no during those nine months. Is there any safe alternative we can eat instead?
