Everyone in my ghar keeps saying papaya bilkul mat khao now. I accidentally had a little ripe papaya yesterday and now im panicking thoda. Is it really that harmful? Anyone know what it actually does?
Listen, unripe papaya has papain which can trigger early contractions, so strictly stay away from raw papaya. Fully ripe is fine, but to be safe, you can just avoid it entirely for a few months.
Just stay positive and take simple precautions. Raw papaya is considered warm and unsafe, so avoid it and focus on other healthy fruits while praying for baby's health.
I couldn't even look at papaya, but honestly, avoid green or unripe papaya completely as it's unsafe. Fully ripe papaya in small amounts is okay, but skip it if you are worried.
Unripe papaya has latex which can cause contractions, so it's strictly avoided. I had to monitor everything so closely, always best to check with your doctor.
My doctor told me that unripe papaya contains latex that acts like oxytocin and prostaglandin, which can cause uterine contractions. Fully ripe one is technically safe, but doctors often suggest avoiding both to prevent confusion.
