My saas made papaya sabzi and now I'm panicking because everyone says papaya is not good in pregnancy. Im in my 2nd trimester. Is it only raw one or pakka pakka papaya bhi? Confused, pls clear this.
Having PCOS made me extra careful with everything I ate. My doctor strictly told me to avoid raw papaya, though a small piece of fully ripe papaya is sometimes okay. Better to completely avoid it to be safe.
Same here, my MIL also strictly banned raw papaya at home. Is it true that even ripe papaya is risky, or is that just an old myth? I am too scared to try either.
I totally understand how hard it is to curb cravings, but raw papaya is a strict no. It contains latex which can cause uterine contractions, so please avoid it for your little one's safety.
Oh god, I accidentally ate a piece of papaya in a restaurant salad and panicked like crazy! But my doc reassured me that a tiny bit of ripe papaya won't do anything. Still, try to avoid raw/semi-ripe ones.
After a long IVF journey, I didn't want to take even a 1% risk, so I completely avoided all papaya. Unripe papaya has enzymes that aren't safe during these precious months. Take care of yourself.
My toddler is 2 now, but back then I also asked this same question! Don't worry, just stick to safe fruits like apples and pomegranates for now. Avoid raw papaya completely.
