Mom made a sabzi with kaccha papaya yesterday and i ate a little before i remembered all the warnings people give. now im a bit worried. im 16 weeks. is unripe one really not safe?
Beta raw or unripe papaya hum log avoid karte hain in pregnancy, purane log bhi mana karte the. The ripe one is okay in small amount, but kachcha papaya rehne do. Still confirm with ur doctor.
No, unripe papaya is a strict no during pregnancy. Both my pregnancies I just skipped it completely. Ripe one in small qty is fine but raw one avoid karo.
The concern is mostly with raw/unripe papaya, the enzyme in it. I personally avoided it whole pregnancy just to be safe. If you really crave fruit ask your gynac what's fine for you.
My amma also told me to stay away from raw papaya. I asked my doctor too and she agreed it's better avoided. Better safe na, plenty of other fruits to enjoy.
