My MIL totally panicked when she saw me eating papaya, said its not good. I had only a little bit and now im worried, im in first trimester. Is it actually a problem ya just a myth?
Please, please avoid raw or semi-ripe papaya completely. I had a miscarriage before and since then I became extremely careful; my doctor said the latex in raw papaya can cause contractions, so it's just not worth the risk.
Ghar pe hamesha bade bolte hain ki papaya pregnancy me garam hota hai aur nahi khana chahiye. Safe rehne ke liye avoid hi karo, aur agar galti se kha liya ho aur cramping ho toh turant doctor ko phone karo.
Let's be clear: raw papaya contains latex which can stimulate early labor or contractions. Completely avoid raw papaya salad or dishes, and if you have doubts, just ask your doctor.
I recently delivered and my doctor had strictly told me to keep away from unripe papaya because of the latex risk. I didn't touch it at all throughout my pregnancy just to be safe.
Look, ripe papaya is fine in small amounts, but raw or semi-ripe papaya has papain which can trigger uterine contractions. To be safe, just avoid papaya entirely during these 9 months, there are plenty of other fruits to eat.
